Jackson Holliday Back With Orioles, a Prime Waiver-Wire Pickup?
The Baltimore Sun's Matt Weyrich reports that Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (hand) is with the team ahead of their series opener on Monday against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays. Holliday has not played at all in the big leagues in 2026 after having surgery for a fractured hamate bone in his hand back in spring training, and he had two setbacks on the farm while on a minor-league rehab assignment. In 22 rehab games with High-A Frederick, Double-A Chesapeake, and Triple-A Norfolk, the former first overall pick has hit just .176 (13-for-74) with a homer, five RBI, six runs, a stolen base, 10 walks, and 23 strikeouts in 86 plate appearances. Despite the poor showing at the plate during his rehab assignment, it looks like Holliday, the son of former big-league outfielder Matt Holliday, might be activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday before the series opener against the Rays. Holliday took a step forward in his first full MLB season in 2025 and has clear 20-20 potential as a power/speed threat as Baltimore's regular second baseman. Fantasy managers in need of middle-infield help should look Holliday's way, as he's rostered in only 41% of Yahoo leagues currently.
