  "summary": "The Chicago Cubs have made a roster move by adding Clay Holmes to their 26-man active roster and optioning Braxton Garrett to Triple-A Iowa. Holmes, acquired from the Mets on Monday, was activated from the 60-day injured list and will make his debut start against the Kansas City Royals this Saturday evening. Garrett, who was brought in from the Marlins in a deadline deal, has been sidelined by Tommy John surgery and has not played a game this year. The Cubs currently have one open spot on their 40-man roster, and they will be monitoring Garrett's progress in the minors as he competes for a rotation spot in 2027.",
