Jackson Holliday DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday is hitting out of the two-hole for Thursday's series finale against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field with both catcher Adley Rutschman and Cedric Mullins sitting out. It's the highest that Holliday has batted for Baltimore this year after recently being bumped up to the six-hole. The 21-year-old has picked things up offensively of late, going 8-for-22 with two home run, three RBI and four runs scored in seven games since April 28. Overall, the former first overall pick in 2022 is slashing .263/.333/.421 with a .754 OPS, four home runs, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases in 95 total at-bats. Fantasy managers hoping for more are just hoping that he can stay hot out of the two-spot against a pitcher that he has yet to face in the big leagues.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday came ready to swing the bat during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Holliday took right-hander Michael Lorenzen deep in the second inning. He got him again in the fourth inning, but Holliday's two-homer game still wasn't enough to get the O's the win. He finished the game 3-for-4 as he extended his hitting streak to five games. It hasn't been a great start to the season for Holliday, but it looks like he's finally getting the bat going.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Holliday got off to a slow start to the year, but the young slugger has been hitting better as of late. Holliday has recorded six hits over his last six games, which includes a four-game hit streak that he'll carry into Sunday's contest. In his absence, Jorge Mateo will cover second base and bat ninth versus left-hander Kris Bubic. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for streaming help as Mateo won't be a great option against Bubic who has pitched well this season.
