Jackson

Holliday

According to the Texas Orthopedic and Spine Associates website, the procedure removed damaged tissue from the triangular fibrocartilage complex in the wrist. Holliday will be able to begin his rehab in a few weeks, and he should be good to go for spring training.

Holliday was placed on the injured list on Monday, and Orioles manager Craig Albernaz confirmed that the 22-year-old has a TFCC tear in his left wrist. Holliday said it is not a complete tear, so he should expect about a 10-week recovery timeline after he has surgery. That should have him ready for the start of spring training in 2027.

Holliday finishes a very disappointing year with a .229/.300/.340 line in 98 games. His hard-hit rate was just 33 percent, down from 40 percent last year and 45 percent in 60 games as a rookie in 2024. He wasn’t very good defensively at second base, either. Maybe the wrist took a toll on his offense, but all things considered, he shouldn’t be promised a starting job next spring.

Holliday is probably done for the rest of the season. The 22-year-old infielder winds up requiring a trip to the injured list after hitting just .202 (25-for-124) with one homer, nine RBI and two steals over his last 30 games.

Albernaz added that Holliday is beat up from a physical standpoint. It doesn’t sound like a massive concern, but the Orioles have added José Barrero to their taxi squad for precautionary reasons. Holliday is hitting just .202 (25-for-124) with one homer, nine RBI and two steals over his last 30 games.

As disappointing as Gunnar Henderson has been this year, it’s still hard to understand why the Orioles want him hitting two spots behind Holliday right now. Holliday is 4-for-31 with a 10/0 K/BB in his last eight games. He’s hitting .192 with one homer and a 29/3 K/BB in 125 plate appearances since Aug. 11. He’s still just 22, but that everything has gone at least a little bit backwards from last season is making it rather difficult to be excited about his future.

Beavers hasn’t exactly been tearing the cover off the ball of late, but the Orioles are going to give him a look in the leadoff spot over Jackson Holliday to face Cleveland lefty Foster Griffin in this one.

The 22-year-old infielder will get a breather in this one with left-hander Jake Bennett toeing the slab for the Red Sox. Blaze Alexander will start in his place at second base and will bat leadoff for the O’s on Thursday evening in Baltimore.

Holliday had an excellent day at the plate in Colorado, starting with a leadoff single in the first inning. He added another base hit in the fifth before taking Jaden Hill deep for a solo homer in the seventh. The 22-year-old infielder is up to seven homers, 39 runs scored, 28 RBI, and eight steals while slashing .233/.315/.359 across 309 plate appearances.

Holliday will take a seat with left-hander Jeffrey Springs toeing the slab for the A’s. He has also been struggling at the dish recently, hitting just .170/.182/.208 with zero homers, two RBI and a 10/1 K/BB ratio over 55 plate appearances in his last 12 games. Blaze Alexander will start in his place at second base and bat leadoff for the O’s on Sunday afternoon in West Sacramento.
