Top prospect Jackson Holliday set to rejoin Orioles

Top prospect Jackson Holliday is officially returning to the Baltimore Orioles, the team confirmed Wednesday. Holliday’s addition to the roster could impact Ramon Urias’ playing time and could mean more time at third base for Jordan Westburg, who has been seeing more time at second with Holliday in the minors. Holliday remains the top prospect in baseball, topping a midseason top-60 list recently published by The Athletic’s Keith Law. After a deadline that saw the Orioles add Rogers, Zach Eflin, Seranthony Domínguez and Eloy Jiménez, Holliday may end up being the biggest addition for the team down the stretch.
