Holliday rejoining Orioles in Baltimore

The roster reshaping by the Orioles isn’t over.

No. 1 prospect Jackson Holliday is headed to Baltimore, multiple sources have confirmed. He could join the active roster before Wednesday afternoon’s game against the Blue Jays or accompany the team to Cleveland before he’s officially recalled.

Holliday was removed from tonight’s lineup, as MASNsports.com reported earlier, following the Connor Norby trade that also sent outfielder Kyle Stowers to the Marlins in exchange for left-hander Trevor Rogers.

This will be Holliday’s second stint in the majors. An unpopular camp cut, Holliday had his contract selected on April 10 and he went 2-for-34 with 18 strikeouts before the Orioles optioned him April 26.

Holliday missed almost two weeks with right elbow inflammation and was eased back into action as the designated hitter before returning to second base. He’s batting .271/.431/.477 with 25 doubles, 10 home runs, 38 RBIs, 75 walks and 77 strikeouts in 73 games.

The Baltimore Banner first reported that Holliday was headed to Baltimore.

The Orioles transferred infielder Jorge Mateo to the 60-day injured list today and designated pitcher Matt Krook for assignment. Infielder Livan Soto, acquired from the Reds, was optioned to Norfolk.

Austin Slater, also part of the Reds deal from earlier today, hasn’t reported. He's out of options.

Holliday's arrival will shift Jordan Westburg into more regular duty at third base. Ramón Urías could be impacted.

Urías has a home run and RBI single tonight, and the Orioles lead the Blue Jays 6-2 in the seventh inning.
