The Aporia
The Baltimore Orioles placed second baseman Jackson Holliday on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday due to left wrist inflammation. This move was announced before their game against the New York Mets, with the injury retroactive to Tuesday. Infielder José Barrero's contract from Triple-A Norfolk was selected to replace Holliday on the roster.
Holliday, a 22-year-old drafted first overall in 2022, is currently batting .229 with seven home runs and thirty RBIs in ninety-eight games this season. He had previously missed the start of the year recovering from surgery to remove a bone in his right hand. Holliday's recent performance has declined, hitting just .196 over his last twenty-five games.
The Orioles are currently at 74-78, three games behind the Chicago White Sox for the final American League wild-card spot.
