Atlanta Braves News: Grant Holmes gave up a home run on a hanging curveball to Junior Caminero in his first inning of the spring.

He opened his second inning by making quick work of Kameron Misner to start the fourth inning. He induced a weak grounder to Eli White at second base for a quick second out in the fourth inning. Then, concluded his outing with one pitch out to Palacios, who hit one right to Michael Harris II.

Holmes hopes to earn a spot in the rotation to start the season with Atlanta. Like Ian Anderson, Holmes is out of options and will most likely begin the season on the big league roster. The current rotation projects to be Chris Sale, Reynaldo Lopez, Spencer Schwellenbach, Grant Holmes, and Ian Anderson.
