Dodgers Claim Pitcher From NL West Rival After Gavin Stone Injury Move
The Dodgers are adding a new pitcher after young arm Gavin Stone was moved to the 60-day injured list to clear up a spot on the 40-man roster.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are adding a new pitcher after young arm Gavin Stone was moved to the 60-day injured list to clear up a spot on the 40-man roster. The Dodgers claimed Grant Holman, a righty from the Arizona Diamondbacks, off waivers with the new roster spot. Stone, who underwent a serious shoulder surger y back in 2024 that led him to miss the entire 20265 season, had a promising one-inning start in Spring Training just for him to suffer a setback that has led to him not pitching.
He was expected to play a key role in the rotation for the Dodgers before going down with his latest injury, which will lead to him missing a good deal of action as a result.

Mandatory Credit: Dennis Lee-Imagn Images Manager Dave Roberts said a handful of days ago that Stone is set to resume throwing with a four- to five-week timetable before he returns to the mound.
“I would say he’s pre-spring training, or right at the beginning,” Roberts said. The Dodgers are seemingly giving him even longer before he has to return, and the addition of Holman will help provide a pitcher with options remaining to send him down to the minor leagues if and when Stone is available.

The California native is 6 feet 6 inches, weighs 250 pounds, is only 25 years old, and already has 40 MLB appearances to his name. He has a career 4. 66 ERA in 40 games, throwing a total of 38.
