The #Braves today acquired RHP Erick Fedde and cash considerations from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. To make room on the 40-man roster, Atlanta transferred RHP Grant Holmes to the 60-day injured list.

The official word is in on Atlanta Braves right-hander Grant Holmes. The team announced Sunday morning that he has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right-elbow inflammation. In a corresponding move, right-hander Daysbel Hernández has been brought back up from Triple-A Gwinnett.

The Atlanta Braves are once again stuck between a rock and a hard place on the injury front. It's time to consider sweeping changes at the trade deadline.

The Atlanta Braves call upon a top prospect who has been experiencing a recent turnaround in his performance in Triple-A following Grant Holmes' injury

Braves lead that had to feel fairly merciful for the Rangers. Grant Holmes consolidated the lead on a three quick contact outs. Michael Harris hit a one out triple in the second and Profar brought him home with a single.

BOTTOM LINE: The Atlanta Braves are looking to break their three-game slide with a win against the Texas Rangers. Texas has a 32-20 record at home and a 54-50 record overall. The Rangers have a 25-7 record in games when they hit at least two home runs.

The Rangers bullpen has been lights-out recently, allowing just 2 runs over their last 7 games with relievers like Hoby Milner (14 holds) and Robert Garcia (8 saves) providing lockdown late-inning support. Atlanta’s relief corps has shown signs of fatigue, with Rafael Montero struggling in yesterday’s meltdown eighth inning.
