The Athletics recalled Holman from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.
Holman and southpaw Hogan Harris will bolster the A's bullpen after Jacob Lopez was optioned to Triple-A and Jose Leclerc (lat) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Holman hasn't yielded a run over nine innings of work in Las Vegas, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out nine. He appeared in 18 games for the Athletics in 2024 and finished with a 4.02 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB in 15.2 innings.

Athletics' Grant Holman: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Athletics optioned Holman to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.
Holman allowed two earned runs and didn't issue any walks over six innings during Cactus League play, but the fact that he had minor-league options remaining likely worked against him in his bid for a spot in the Opening Day bullpen. The 24-year-old righty received his first taste of the big leagues in 2024, posting a 4.02 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB in 15.2 innings over 18 appearances for the Athletics.

Rotowire
Holman (0-1) was charged with a blown save and took the loss to the Reds on Thursday, allowing three runs on three hits, two walks and a wild pitch without retiring a batter.
After loading the bases to open the final frame and try to protect a 9-7 lead, Holman surrendered back-to-back run-scoring singles to Tyler Stephenson and TJ Friedl, the latter sealing a three-run rally for the Reds. Prior to Thursday, Holman had allowed just a single earned run across four innings over his first five big-league appearances following his Aug. 17 promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Athletics' Grant Holman: Headed to majors
Rotowire
The Athletics selected Holman's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.
The 24-year-old reliever has a 0.92 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and a 30:13 K:BB with four wins and three saves in 29.1 innings over 23 appearances in the Pacific Coast League. Holman, a righty, won't be unseating Mason Miller in the ninth inning, but he could soon establish himself as one of Oakland's most promising relievers.
