Overview
- The Orioles reinstated infielder Jackson Holliday from the 10-day injured list and optioned catcher Maverick Handley to Triple-A Norfolk, according to Field Level Media.
- Holliday joined the club in St. Petersburg for the Rays series after a stop-start rehab that featured clean imaging, a home run and a triple, and a planned early exit from a Triple-A game.
- Before the move, manager Craig Albernaz said activation was not assured as Holliday took ground balls and batting practice with the team.
- During rehab he logged work at third base to add defensive flexibility after Jordan Westburg was ruled out for the season with Tommy John surgery.
- Holliday said he expects to start at second base and noted mild scar-area nagging he called normal as he returns from hand surgery.
