Summary

Holmes was placed on the 15-day injured list. Medical evaluation indicates surgery is not necessary. Manager Carlos Mendoza expects Holmes to require 6-8 weeks to heal plus an additional 4-6 weeks for ramp-up/Spring Training-style conditioning. Expected return timeline is August 2026. Holmes demonstrated toughness by remaining in the game after the injury, escaping a bases-loaded jam before being removed in the fifth inning.
