Jackson Holliday recorded two hits and drove in a run during a rehab appearance for Triple‑A Norfolk, the Baltimore Orioles’ top minor‑league affiliate, officials said. The outing marked a step in the 2024 campaign for the infielder as he works his way back into game form on a controlled assignment with the Tides.
Holliday, listed with the Orioles as a second baseman, reached base twice and contributed an RBI in limited action during the game. The stint with Norfolk was explicitly described as a rehab outing, the customary route clubs use to get players back to game speed after time away from the major‑league roster for health or conditioning reasons.
Triple‑A Norfolk frequently hosts big‑league players on short rehabilitation assignments so they can face live pitching and defensive reps in a competitive setting before rejoining Baltimore. For the player, these outings serve both to verify physical readiness and to fine‑tune timing at the plate or in the field; for the club, they provide a chance to monitor progress in a lower‑pressure environment than the majors.
No official timeline has been announced for Holliday’s return to the Orioles’ active roster. The length and number of rehab games typically depend on the nature of the issue that prompted the assignment and on how the player responds on the field. Holliday’s two hits and the run batted in on this outing will be taken as encouraging signs as the organization evaluates next steps.
Norfolk’s role as Baltimore’s Triple‑A club means performances there are closely watched by the major‑league coaching and medical staff. If Holliday continues to progress, the Orioles could move to activate him from a rehab assignment and add him back to their lineup. Until then, the Tides will remain his immediate stage for getting back to full form.
