Latest News About Jackson Holliday

Here’s the latest on Jackson Holliday:

• Injury recovery and return timeline: Holliday has been working his way back from right hamate bone surgery with multiple rehab assignments. Reports in mid-to-late May indicated he was approaching a season debut, with teams evaluating the best spot in the lineup as he returns from injury. Reading the latest updates, there are ongoing indications he was close to rejoining the Orioles after rehab assignments, though exact activation timing could shift based on how his hand responds in games.

• Rehab progress and setbacks: Earlier in the spring, imaging (MRI/CT/X-ray) was reported clean, but he experienced intermittent soreness during rehab, which led to short shutdown periods and adjustments in his rehab schedule. This is common after hamate surgery as he regains strength and range of motion in the right hand.

• Position and role in Orioles plans: Upon returning, he was being considered for lineup placement that could vary based on health and performance, with indications of flexibility in infield roles, including third base during rehab assignments. The team and coaches had signaled they want to ease him back into the lineup and monitor performance before locking into a fixed spot.

• Past context: Holliday was the Orioles’ top prospect, and his return has been a key storyline for Baltimore’s infield depth and future lineup construction since his hamate surgery in February 2026.
