BOSTON – The reporter approached Ryan Mountcastle’s locker yesterday, asked if he had a minute and explained that only one topic could be covered. The important one. You know it. Mountcastle turned around, smiled and said, “Jackson Holliday.” Of course. It wasn’t the best lobster rolls in New England. Players learned about Holliday’s promotion late

BOSTON – Jackson Holliday stretched with his teammates on the field. He took batting practice while father Matt and younger brother Ethan stood behind the cage. He paused to sign some autographs before grabbing his bats and heading back to the clubhouse. Fans yelled his name. He looked every bit like a major leaguer, except for that youthful face,

BOSTON – Manager Brandon Hyde prepared for tonight's game against the Red Sox but also relived the “tough decision” made in spring training to reassign 20-year-old Jackson Holliday. Again. How Holliday was playing a new position, how the first-overall draft pick in 2022 needed more exposure to left-handed pitching. “Just to get him more Triple-A ex

It's the Orioles' 11th game of the 2024 season, but for 20-year-old Jackson Holliday, it's his big league debut. Less than two years since the O's selected him No. 1 overall in July 2022, Holliday is in the majors. He will bat ninth and play second base tonight in Game 2 of this three-game series at Boston.

SAN FRANCISCO – A wild, eventful, successful opening series to this long West Coast trip gave way to an entirely undramatic loss in this afternoon’s finale.

BOSTON – One wall in the cramped visiting clubhouse at Fenway Park has room for five lockers, with nameplates today that sound like their own talent pipeline. Cowser, Westburg, Rutschman, Holliday, Henderson. High draft picks by the Orioles, including two first-overall selections and three top overall prospects in baseball. A sight that can't be cl

BOSTON – Jackson Holliday is making his major league debut tonight at second base as the Orioles try to claim a series win against the Red Sox. Holliday is batting ninth. And yes, he’s wearing No. 7, which was unofficially retired to honor Cal Ripken Sr. No one wore it since 1992. Infielder Billy Ripken was the last player to wear it in 1988, after

SAN FRANCISCO – The Nationals swapped a pitcher for a catcher prior to today’s series finale against the Giants, optioning Joan Adon back to Triple-A Rochester following his fill-in start Tuesday night and calling up Drew Millas to give them an extra position player for the time being. With no need for a fifth starter again until next week in Los A

SAN FRANCISCO – The Nationals have a chance today to sweep a road series, extend their winning streak to four games and reach the .500 mark. Not a bad position to be in, especially considering all the other stuff that’s been going on in recent days. Despite the injuries, the Nats are playing good baseball right now. And another win this afternoon o
