ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. \u2014 The Orioles are possibly receiving reinforcements ahead of their three-game series against the American League\u2019s hottest team.<\/p>\n

Infielder Jackson Holliday is with the team, sources said. A reinstatement off the injured list is possible, although those sources couldn\u2019t say for sure when Holliday would return. Holliday has been recovering from a February surgery for a broken hamate bone in his right hand, and the 22-year-old has experienced a few setbacks in that process.<\/p>\n

Holliday\u2019s possible return would be a boost for a team that just lost infielder Jordan Westburg for the rest of the season<\/a> due to Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery. During Holliday\u2019s latest rehab assignment in the minors, he played some third base.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, manager Craig Albernaz said Holliday playing third was meant to increase his positional versatility. Holliday has primarily played second base in the majors. He was a shortstop out of the draft when Baltimore selected him first overall in 2022.<\/p>\n

Holliday was removed early from Triple-A Norfolk\u2019s game on Sunday. In five games for the Tides in his latest rehab stint, Holliday had four hits, including a triple and a home run.<\/p>\n

Last year, Holliday hit .242 with a .689 on-base-plus-slugging percentage. He tied with Gunnar Henderson and Westburg for the team lead in homers, with 17.<\/p>\n

Holliday broke his hamate bone during a batting practice session right before spring training. As he worked his way back, continued pain and discomfort in the hand and wrist prevented him from making a return.<\/p>\n

In April, for instance, a swing during a game <\/a>for Norfolk made him feel as though he had broken his hand again. Subsequent imaging showed all was fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ST.
