Jackson Holliday to Start Season on Injured List with Broken Hamate Bone
Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (hand) will begin the 2026 campaign on the injured list due to a broken hamate bone in his right hand. Jake Rill of MLB.com reported that Holliday will undergo a procedure on Thursday, and his timeline will be measured in "weeks" after Opening Day. The former first overall was poised to have a lead role for the second-straight season, but is now in danger of missing significant time in the opening portion of the campaign. Last summer, Holliday appeared in 149 games and held a .242/.314/.375 slash line with 21 doubles, 17 home runs, and 17 stolen bases. Under the hood, Holliday generated a mdoest .314 xwOBA with a 40.8% hard-hit rate. With Holliday on the shelf to open the season, managers should expect Blaze Alexander to carve out a starting role and will carry early-season streaming upside.
