Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Jackson Holliday, the Baltimore Orioles' 22-year-old infielder and former first overall pick, has been sidelined since February 6 with a fractured right hamate bone. After undergoing surgery on February 12, his recovery has been complicated by multiple setbacks including lingering pain, wrist overcompensation issues, and repeated shutdowns. He began his third rehab assignment with Double-A Chesapeake after a two-week absence from minor league action. The Orioles are exploring positional versatility, having him take reps at third base during rehab despite being primarily a second baseman. Holliday has struggled at the plate during rehab, hitting .176/.250/.235 in 14 games. The organization remains cautiously optimistic about his return, potentially in May, though his path back has been anything but smooth.
