Holt was called up to the majors for the first time on July 6, 2014, and made his debut that night replacing Ryan Raburn in right field in the ninth inning, but did not make a plate appearance.[5] Holt was optioned back to Triple-A Columbus on July 8.[6] Holt was recalled on August 1.[7] On August 13th, Holt got his first major league hit with a single up the middle against the Arizona Diamondbacks.[8]

Holt was sent back down to the minors only to be recalled on August 19, 2014 as Raburn was put back on the disabled list again.[9] Holt made his first pinch hit debut as an Indian for Chris Dickerson in the sixth inning hitting a two-out, two-run double the same day as being called up again.[10]

Holt was designated for assignment by the Indians on September 23, 2015. He was then claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Reds. Holt made the Reds' Opening Day roster in the 2016 season.[11]
