Jackson Holliday returning to Orioles

BALTIMORE—Baseball’s top prospect, Jackson Holliday, is on his way to Baltimore to rejoin the Orioles. Holliday was called up by the Orioles in April and went just 2-for-34 (.059) in 10 games before he was returned to Triple-A Norfolk.

Holliday, who was hitting .271 with 10 home runs and 38 RBIs and a .908 OPS in 71 games with Norfolk, had missed time with an inflamed right elbow. After a stint as the Tides’ designated hitter, he’d been easing his way back into playing second base.

With Tuesday’s trade of Connor Norby to Miami, a space is open for Holliday.

News of Holliday’s promotion was reported by The Baltimore Banner and confirmed by industry sources.
