ARLINGTON, Texas — The Atlanta Braves<\/a> placed right-hander Grant Holmes<\/a> on the 15-day injured list on Sunday, meaning all five of the club’s starters on Opening Day are on the injured list.<\/p>\n

“We’re going to figure out a way to piece this thing together,” said manager Brian Snitker, whose team lost at Texas<\/a> 8-1<\/a> on Sunday afternoon for its fifth consecutive defeat. “That’s all you can do ’cause the games aren’t going to stop because we lost our rotation.”<\/p>\n

Holmes has elbow inflammation and was replaced on the active roster by Daysbel Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a>, recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett.<\/p>\n

Holmes pitched four innings Saturday in the Braves’ 6-5 loss to the Rangers in 10 innings.<\/p>\n

The Braves’ other Opening Day starters are all on the 60-day list. It began during the season’s first week with right-hander Reynaldo L\u00f3pez<\/a> (placed on the list on March 29 with shoulder inflammation following one start, resulting in surgery), right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver<\/a> (May 29, strained elbow, resulting in Tommy John surgery), left-hander Chris Sale<\/a> (June 21, fractured rib cage diving to field a grounder in the ninth inning of a five-hit shutout of the New York Mets<\/a> shortly after being selected to his ninth All-Star team) and right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach<\/a> (July 2, fractured elbow).<\/p>\n

The five have made 63 combined starts this season.<\/p>\n

“We’re professional,” Snitker said. “We’re getting paid to do this. We signed a contract. So every day, we’re going to go out and give it our best shot and win the game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jul 27, 2025, 02:44 PM ET ARLINGTON, Texas — The Atlanta Braves placed right-hander Grant Holmes on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41200,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[363,99],"class_list":["post-41199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41199"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41199\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
