According to multiple sources, infield prospect Jackson Holliday is headed to the Baltimore Orioles from Triple-A Norfolk. It's why Holliday was scratched from Tuesday night's lineup with the Tides following the trade of second base prospect Connor Norby to the Miami Marlins in exchange for left-hander Trevor Rogers. Although Baltimore's acquisition of Rogers was seen as a pretty big overpay for a lefty arm with command issues, it also opened up a regular spot at second base at the big-league level for the top prospect in all of baseball. Holliday looked overmatched in his first taste of big-league pitching earlier this year and went 2-for-34 (.059) with 18 strikeouts in 10 games, but he has posted a .908 OPS with 10 homers, 38 RBI and eight steals in 73 games for Norfolk this year and needs to be rostered in all fantasy leagues if he isn't already.
Baltimore Orioles infield prospect Jackson Holliday went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI on Friday evening for Triple-A Norfolk. This was Holliday's first game playing in the field since being activated from the injured list on June 25. He was exclusively only serving as the designated hitter since then. The second baseman has posted a stellar .325/.491/.700 slash line with three home runs, seven RBI, two stolen bases, and a 13:9 BB:K through July after struggling in June. The former first overall pick is a name to keep a close eye on in redraft leagues, as he could return to the major leagues in the coming weeks once he proves he is ready to play the field on a daily basis.
Baltimore Orioles second base/shortstop prospect Jackson Holliday (elbow) is set to begin playing partial games in the field over the next several days, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. This is part of his scheduled rehab progression, as he recently recovered from elbow inflammation. Holliday was activated off the injured list on June 25 but has strictly been serving as the designated hitter in the minors. The top prospect in baseball got a small taste of the major leagues earlier this season but struggled through his 10-game stint. Since July 1, the 20-year-old has been swinging a hot bat at Triple-A Norfolk with a .297/.469/.541 slash line and is on the verge of returning to the big leagues.
Baltimore Orioles infield prospect Jackson Holliday has performed very well in July and is nearing a return to the major leagues. Since July 1, the former first overall selection in the 2022 MLB Draft has posted a .297/.469/.541 slash line with one home run, two stolen bases, and an excellent 12:9 BB:K ratio. This is great to see, as Holiday got into a bit of a slump in June, where he held a lower .222/.444/.378. Holliday earned a small stint in the majors earlier this season but struggled over his brief 10-game stint. The 20-year-old should see time in the majors later this season and is a popular stash candidate, as he should make an immediate impact in his second stint in the big leagues.
