Jackson Holliday’s Rehab Assignment Begins Friday, Announce Orioles

March 25, 2026 — The Baltimore Orioles announced that Jackson Holliday will begin a rehab assignment Friday. He will report to Triple-A Norfolk to begin the stint.

Injury and surgery

Holliday suffered a broken hamate bone in his right hand during batting practice. He underwent surgery on February 12.

The team initially said the injury would keep him out for Opening Day. The rehab plan suggests a shorter absence than first feared.

Rehab assignment details

The club confirmed the rehab assignment will start Friday with the Norfolk Tides. The move is designed to get Holliday game-ready for the majors.

Coaches will monitor his recovery and playing time in Norfolk. The timetable could change based on his progress.

Roster implications

Orioles begin the season Thursday at Camden Yards against the Minnesota Twins. With Holliday rehabbing, Baltimore will adjust infield reps.

Jordan Westburg is also sidelined with an elbow issue. Blaze Alexander could see extra starts at second base to begin the campaign.

Player background and outlook

Holliday was the No. 1 pick in the 2022 draft. Last season he hit .242 with 17 home runs and 55 RBIs across 149 games.

Those numbers form the baseline as he works back to full strength. The organization hopes the rehab assignment accelerates his return.
