Overview
- Arizona announced the waiver claim on February 15 and opened a 40-man spot by shifting left-hander A.J. Puk to the 60-day injured list as he rehabs from UCL surgery.
- Holman, 25, has logged 40 MLB appearances over 38.2 innings with a 4.66 ERA, 33 strikeouts, 18 walks and a 4.34 FIP since debuting in 2024.
- His 2025 season was cut short by right-shoulder rotator cuff tendinitis after 22 appearances, following a brief but dominant 9.1 scoreless innings stint at Triple-A.
- The right-hander features a mid-90s four-seam fastball, splitter, slider and occasional sinker, with stronger recent results against left-handed hitters than right-handers.
- Holman arrives with two minor-league options and multiple years of team control, positioning him to compete for a bullpen role this spring or open 2026 at Triple-A Reno.
