What happened: The Atlanta Braves announced right-hander Grant Holmes as their starting pitcher for today's game. The team made the announcement on its official account ahead of first pitch.

Why it matters: Each rotation turn carries weight as the Braves work through the 2026 regular season and try to keep pace in the standings. Holmes's outing is another data point in how Atlanta is managing its starting staff this season.

What to watch: Watch how deep Holmes works into the game and whether he can give the Braves length out of the rotation. Final line and result will follow after the game.
