Jackson Holliday Fantasy Stats

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (hand) will start a minor-league rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, according to Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com. Holliday was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday after having surgery on Feb. 12 to remove the fractured hamate bone from his right hand, but barring a setback on his rehab assignment, he's expected to make his 2026 season debut around mid-April. Because of his hand injury, the 22-year-old was unable to play at all in any Grapefruit League games in spring training. The former first overall pick in 2022 looked overmatched in his first 60 games in the majors in 2024, but he bounced back in 2025 with a .242/.314/.375 slash line, .690 OPS, 17 home runs, 55 RBI, 70 runs scored, and 17 stolen bases in 149 games. If he avoids any more injuries this year, Holliday's upside as a rising young second baseman is evident. We wouldn't be surprised if he puts up his first 20-20 season despite a delayed start to the regular season.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The left-handed slugger is working his way back from a broken hamate bone that he suffered back in February and has been making steady progress, even taking live batting practice last week. A minimal stay on the IL appears to be in order, so expect an announcement of a rehab assignment soon, which would likely take place at Triple-A Norfolk. The former first overall draft pick debuted in 2024 and showed signs of improvement in 2025, dropping his K% from 33.2 percent to 21.6 percent as his contact rate went from 70.3 percent to 78.7 percent, resulting in a wRC+ that went from 62 to 96. If the 22-year-old can continue to improve, he could be on the verge of a very fantasy-friendly third season in the big leagues.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (hand) took live batting practice in camp on Thursday for the first time since having surgery on his right hand, and he will do so again on Friday, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports. Holliday is "making great progress," although he's still expected to begin the 2026 regular season next week on the injured list while rehabbing at Triple-A Norfolk. But barring a setback there, the 22-year-old shouldn't have to miss much time to begin his third year in the big leagues. The former first overall pick in the 2022 MLB draft showed improvement in his first full big-league season in 2025, hitting .242/.314/.375 with a .690 OPS, 17 home runs, 55 RBI, 70 runs scored, and 17 stolen bases in 649 plate appearances and 149 games played. Holliday looked overmatched initially in 2024, but he cut his strikeout rate significantly last year and is probably a good bet for his first 20-20 campaign in 2026 if he stays healthy. He's RotoBaller's No. 12-ranked fantasy second baseman.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (hand) stated that he expects to take live at-bats during camp this week with the big league club, but is unsure whether or not he'll get a chance to see game action before the spring season is over. The 22-year-old is expecting to open the regular season with Triple-A Norfolk, although he does not believe his stay on the injured list will be a lengthy one. The former first-overall draft pick is recovering from hamate-bone surgery in his hand and has been making steady progress in his rehab. The left-handed slugger is looking to build on his 2025 season, which saw him produce a .242/.314/.375 slash line with 17 home runs, 17 steals, a .304 wOBA, and a 96 wRC+ in 149 games. Holliday could finish the year inside the top-12 at the second base position, but you can wait on him in drafts, going after pick No. 150 over the last two weeks.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (hand) is hitting off a tee and took 40 swings in camp on Saturday, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports. Holliday said his hand feels good. He will hit flips on Sunday and could progress to batting practice in a week. The 22-year-old left-handed hitter is recovering from hamate-bone surgery in his hand and is expected to open the 2026 regular season on the injured list. However, as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks, Holliday should have a minimum IL stay and be ready to make his season debut in early April after initially having surgery on his hand on Feb. 12. The former first overall pick in 2022 showed improvement in Year 2 in 2025, slashing .242/.314/.375 with a .690 OPS, 17 home runs, 55 RBI, 70 runs scored, and 17 stolen bases in 649 plate appearances. It was encouraging that he cut his strikeout rate considerably. Fantasy managers are now hoping he can take another step forward in 2026. RotoBaller has Holliday ranked just inside the top 15 fantasy second basemen.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/third baseman Blaze Alexander continues to be in line for more playing time early in the season and is projected to slot in as the team's primary second baseman early in the season while Jackson Holliday (hand) recovers from hamate bone surgery. Alexander was acquired from Arizona this offseason after he hit .230/.323/.383 with seven home runs and four steals in 74 games last season. The 26-year-old righty has looked solid in spring training and could move to third base after Holliday returns to his everyday role. If you need some infield help early in the season for AL-only leagues, Alexander is an intriguing flier with upside. He has both power and speed potential and should settle into a utility role once everyone in Baltimore is healthy.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday (hand) said he has started throwing a baseball again after having his broken hamate bone removed from his right hand, according to Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner. Holliday is scheduled to begin swinging a bat on Thursday as part of a steady buildup. The 22-year-old had the stitches removed from his surgically repaired hand earlier this week and was also cleared for fielding and one-handed swings. The Orioles will continue to slowly build him back up this spring, but he will open the 2026 regular season on the injured list. Barring a setback, Holliday should be ready to go by mid-April. Holliday is an ascending young second baseman, but fantasy managers have to wonder if his hand injury will sap him of some power early this year. The former first overall pick in 2022 showed improvement in his first full big-league season in 2025, hitting .242/.314/.375 with a .690 OPS, 17 homers, 55 RBI, 70 runs, and 17 steals in 149 games played.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (hand), who had the stitches removed from his surgically repaired right hand on Monday, doesn't have his hand wrapped, according to MASN Sports' Roch Kubatko. Holliday said he's been cleared to take ground balls and one-handed swings in camp. The 22-year-old is expected to slowly ramp up his baseball activities in spring training after having the hamate bone removed from his hand. Holliday is expected to open the 2026 regular season on the injured list, but barring a setback, it could be a minimal IL stay for the young infielder. When healthy, he'll resume starting duties at the keystone for the O's. In the meantime, offseason acquisition Blaze Alexander is expected to see most of the playing time at second base. After showing improvement in Year 2 in 2025, the former first overall pick in 2022 is RotoBaller's No. 14-ranked fantasy second baseman.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (hand) will get the stitches removed from his surgically-repaired right hand on Monday, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN. The former No. 1 pick tore up the minors and debuted in 2024, but struggled upon getting the call. He fared better over a full season in 2025, slashing .242/.314/.375, but he still mustered just 96 wRC+. He posted a 8.6% walk rate and 21.6% strikeout rate with 17 home runs and 17 stolen bases. Defensively, he contributed -8 OAA and -6 FRV at second base. Still, he was a source of consistency for the Orioles, playing 149 games in the majors. He didn't suffer his hand injury until arriving at spring training this February; during live at-bats nearly two weeks ago, he suffered a broken hamate bone that required surgical removal. He recently got his cast off, and the stitches will follow next week. At that point, he can begin sweating and gradually resume baseball activities. It's unlikely that he'll be ready for Opening Day, but he's making good progress and figures to return sometime in April. The injury concern dropped Holliday to #15 among second basemen in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings for 2026.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (hand) is in camp on Monday and said he's getting his cast removed, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. Holliday is hopeful that he can take live at-bats in three weeks, but he also knows the Orioles don't want to rush him. The 22-year-old thinks his recovery from a broken hamate bone won't linger too long and that he'll be back shortly after Opening Day in late March. He had surgery last week to remove a fractured hamate bone in his right hand, but Holliday's fantasy value shouldn't change all that much as long as he stays on track and doesn't miss much time to begin the 2026 regular season. Holliday struggled in his first 60 MLB games in 2024, but he made strides last season, clubbing 17 homers and stealing 17 bases, while also trimming his strikeout rate a good amount. His hand injury knocks him a bit going into 2026, but he's still considered a top-15 fantasy second baseman at RotoBaller.
