"Holliday suffered a broken hamate bone during a batting practice swing early in spring training. He had surgery on Feb. 12 to remove the hamate hook, which typically comes with a recovery period of four to eight weeks."
"Now more than two months removed from the surgery, Holliday still doesn't appear all that close to joining the Orioles. He carries an anemic .176/.250/.235 batting line with a 23.2% strikeout rate and a 5.4% walk rate."
"With Holliday sidelined, the Orioles have given utilityman Jeremiah Jackson the lion's share of playing time at second base. He's responded with a stout .297/.321/.527 batting line and five home runs in 78 turns at the plate."
Jackson Holliday is undergoing another MRI on his right hand after struggling to recover from a broken hamate bone. He had surgery on February 12, but his rehab has been interrupted due to ongoing pain. After two months, Holliday's performance in rehab games has been poor, with a .176 batting average. In his absence, Jeremiah Jackson has excelled at second base, posting a .297 batting line and five home runs, although his low walk rate and contact rate raise concerns about sustainability.
