He is one of Baltimore&#8217;s top prospects. During the 2025 season, Holliday hit at a .242 batting average with 17 home runs.

He saw career-highs in virtually every statistical category, after playing limited time with the Orioles in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The young infielder is out for Baltimore&#8217;s Opening Day game for 2026, due to his injury. He is hoping to start playing soon after that. Holliday is one of a core of team sluggers looking to post a lot of runs this coming season.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore made a big splash in <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/mlb\/baltimore-orioles\/orioles-news-baltimore-pete-alonso-155-million-contract-agreement\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">free agency this offseason by signing Pete Alonso<\/a>, who had been a fan-favorite with the New York Mets. Orioles fans are excited to see what Holliday and Alonso can do together with this offense.<\/p>\n<p>Holliday is remaining optimistic after suffering this injury. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/news\/jackson-holliday-update-after-right-hamate-bone-surgery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">hopes to be back<\/a> playing in April.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s pretty straightforward. Talking to the training staff and the strength staff, it\u2019s kind of the best surgery you can possibly have because it\u2019s so quick and easy,\u201d Holliday said, per MLB.com. \u201cI\u2019m hoping it doesn\u2019t linger too long. I think it\u2019s just kind of going off of how I feel. Obviously, don\u2019t want to rush into anything at the beginning of the season and kind of press on something that doesn\u2019t need to be pressed on. But that\u2019s my goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, I\u2019ve got nothing to do but try to get better as fast as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Orioles continue to play spring training games on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Baltimore Orioles are waiting anxiously to see the return of star infielder Jackson Holliday.
