    Orioles recall top-ranked prospect Jackson Holliday for his 2nd shot at the major leagues

    BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles recalled top-ranked prospect Jackson Holliday from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, giving the infielder his second shot at the major leagues.

    Holliday, the No. 1 pick in the 2022 draft, made his big league debut earlier this season, but went 2 for 34 at the plate with 18 strikeouts and was sent back down. The Orioles need infield help now after an injury to Jorge Mateo and a trade that sent Connor Norby to the Miami Marlins.

    The 20-year-old Holliday, the son of former outfielder Matt Holliday, is No. 1 in MLB Pipeline’s prospect ranking.

    The Orioles optioned catcher Blake Hunt and utilityman Terrin Vavra to Norfolk.
