On April 11, 2026, the Detroit Tigers claimed right-handed reliever Grant Holman off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 25-year-old, who has not pitched this season but has 40 games of MLB experience, will be added to the Tigers' 40-man roster and optioned to the Florida Complex League. Holman recorded a 4.66 ERA with the Athletics during the 2024-25 seasons, featuring a fastball averaging 94.6 mph, a splitter, and a slider. The Tigers made room for Holman by transferring shortstop Trey Sweeney to the 60-day injured list due to a lingering shoulder injury. Holman has bounced between several teams, including the Athletics and Arizona Diamondbacks, and has two minor-league options remaining, allowing the Tigers to move him between the MLB and Triple-A levels throughout the season.
