Cubs Activate Clay Holmes

The Cubs have activated Clay Holmes from the 60-day IL for his team debut after he missed nearly three months due to a fractured fibula. Holmes, who was performing well before his injury with a 2.39 ERA in nine starts, will pitch against Kansas City while Braxton Garrett returns to Triple-A to make room. The Cubs’ rotation has faced significant injuries, prompting the acquisition of Holmes and Kevin Gausman at the trade deadline. Garrett, also acquired recently, will serve as a depth option after a brief stint in the majors.
