Jackson Holliday Back in Action on Friday
Jackson Holliday (knee) is back at second base and is hitting leadoff for the O's for Friday's series opener in the Bronx against the division-rival New York Yankees and right-hander Will Warren. Holliday missed two games earlier this week as a precaution due to knee soreness, but the former first overall pick is back on Friday and will be available for the final series of the regular season. The 21-year-old will be looking to finish off the season strong after picking up just one hit with nine strikeouts in his last 29 at-bats. In his first full season in the big leagues as a starter in Baltimore, Holliday has been a strong contributor, slashing .245/.316/.381 with a .697 OPS, 17 home runs, 55 RBI, 69 runs, and 17 stolen bases across 146 games. There's a lot to like about Holliday's long-term outlook as a likely 20-20 guy for years to come.
