Despite demotion, Orioles’ decision to call up Jackson Holliday was necessary | ANALYSIS
It turns out Jackson Holliday wasn’t ready after all.
The Orioles optioned their prized top prospect back to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, hitting the pause button on a major league career that was off to a 2-for-34 start at the plate. Holliday wasn’t making much contact — he struck out 18 times in 10 games — and when he did, the 20-year-old was hitting the ball into the ground. With Baltimore competing for a playoff spot, the Orioles opted to have Holliday make his adjustments in the minors for the time being.
