Tigers Claim Grant Holman From Dodgers

Overview

• The Tigers claimed right-hander Grant Holman off waivers from the Dodgers on Saturday and optioned him to their Florida Coast League team after transferring infielder Trey Sweeney to the 60-day injured list to clear a 40-man spot.
• Holman retains two minor-league option years, which lets Detroit move him between the majors and minors without exposing him to waivers.
• The move leaves Los Angeles with 39 players on its 40-man roster, according to Yahoo Sports.
• Reports differ on how the Dodgers processed the move, with The Sporting News saying they designated Holman for assignment and MLB Trade Rumors noting no public indication of a DFA.
• Holman, a 2021 sixth-round pick by Oakland, has a 4.66 ERA over 38 2/3 MLB innings and saw his 2025 workload limited by rotator-cuff tendinitis.
