Jackson Holliday Begins Minor League Rehab Assignment

Jackson Holliday's rehab assignment is closely watched by the Orioles and their fans. After a solid 2025 season, the team anticipates his return to bolster their lineup. The infielder sustained a fractured hamate bone during spring training, requiring surgery and a stint on the injured list.

During his absence, Blaze Alexander and Jeremiah Jackson have stepped in, but Holliday's potential impact remains highly anticipated. His performance in the minor leagues will dictate the timeline for his return. In 2025, Holliday showcased his potential by hitting .242 with 21 doubles, three triples, 17 home runs, 55 RBIs, and 17 stolen bases.

The Norfolk Tides, Baltimore's Triple-A affiliate, are also excited about Holliday's presence. Manager Tim Federowicz noted the excitement for both the fans and players when a major league player joins the team, even on a temporary basis. Newport News native Trey Gibson started on the mound for the Tides' opening day, adding local flavor to the excitement surrounding Holliday's first rehab game.

The timeline for Holliday's return depends on his performance and how he feels during the rehab assignment. A quick return is possible if he feels good and performs well.

Blaze Alexander and Jeremiah Jackson are currently handling second base duties for the Orioles.
