Orioles 2B Jackson Holliday (hand) suffers setback

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday will have an MRI following another setback in his recovery from a right hand injury.

The former No. 1 overall draft pick was removed from Triple-A Norfolk's game against Memphis on Tuesday after he experienced discomfort during a swing.

Holliday, 22, has been working his way back to the majors since fracturing a hamate bone in batting practice in February. This is the second time in a week that he has experienced soreness in his hand and wrist.

"We're getting him up to Baltimore for an MRI," Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said following the team's 6-5 loss at Kansas City on Tuesday.

Holliday played 11 rehab games at Norfolk from March 27 to April 12 and two games at High-A Fredericksburg on April 18-19 before returning to Norfolk on Tuesday. He is batting a combined .176 (9-for-51) with no homers and four RBIs in 14 games.

Holliday, the top pick in 2022 and the son of seven-time All-Star Matt Holliday, batted .242 with 17 home runs, 55 RBIs and 17 stolen bases in 149 games with the Orioles in 2025.
