Jackson Holliday Nicked Up, Out on Thursday
Jackson Holliday (undisclosed) has been nicked up and will sit out of Thursday's game against the New York Yankees, according to interim manager Tony Mansolino. With Holliday out, Ryan Mountcastle (finger) will return to the lineup in the leadoff spot and will serve as the designated hitter against Yankees left-hander Max Fried. Luis Vazquez is manning the keystone and will hit in the nine-hole for the O's. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about Holliday returning during the series against New York this weekend. The 21-year-old former first overall pick in 2022 is in his first full MLB season and is currently slashing .250/.321/.390 with a .711 OPS, 17 home runs, 55 RBI, 68 runs scored, and 17 stolen bases in 142 games. He's been caught stealing a league-high 11 times. Vazquez is not a realistic DFS sleeper against Fried.
