LOS ANGELES, CA—As the Los Angeles Dodgers prepare for Game Two of a three-game weekend series against the Texas Rangers, they’ll do so without a certain pitcher on their 40-man roster, as recently claimed right-hander Grant Holman was claimed off waivers by the Detroit Tigers.
The move was announced via the Tigers’ Personnel Relations account on social media.
The Tigers today claimed RHP Grant Holman off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Holman has been optioned to the FCL. To make room on the 40-man roster, INF Trey Sweeney has been transferred to the 60-day injured list.

Holman, 25, was claimed late last month as the Dodgers transferred right-hander Gavin Stone to the 60-day injured list as he works his way back from right shoulder troubles.
Before joining the Dodgers organization, Holman was DFA’d by the Arizona Diamondbacks, who acquired him from the Athletics.
The right-hander debuted in MLB with Oakland in 2024 and also appeared in a career-high 22 games for the team last season. Over parts of two seasons with the A’s, Holman has a combined record of 5-3, a 4.66 ERA, and a 1.52 WHIP across 40 games, including two starts.
It was never reported that the Dodgers placed Holman on waivers, but his now being claimed brings the Dodgers’ 40-man roster back to 39 players.
That spot should be filled up soon, but it won’t be taken by anyone currently on the 60-day IL, as all of those players are deemed ineligible until late May.
