ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Jackson Holliday was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Monday, when he rejoined the Baltimore Orioles prior to their season opener against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Holliday, on the injured list since March 22 following surgery on the hamate bone in his right hand, took part in pregame warmups but was not in the starting lineup.
The 22-year-old second baseman, who was the top overall pick in the 2022 amateur draft, took ground balls and batting practice at Tropicana Field. But the Orioles stuck with Jeremiah Jackson at second base, batting seventh in the lineup.
The son of seven-time All-Star Matt Holliday, Jackson Holliday toured the Orioles' farm system on multiple rehab assignments in the first eight weeks of the season. His arrival with the club followed a triple off the outfield wall on Sunday and a homer on Saturday with the Triple-A Norfolk Tides. All told, in 22 minor league games this season, he hit .176 with a double, triple, home run and five RBIs.
In the majors, Holliday batted .242 in 2025, his first full season in Baltimore. He had 17 homers and 55 RBIs. He made his MLB debut in 2024.
To make room on the roster, Baltimore optioned catcher Maverick Handley to Norfolk.
