Orioles' top prospect Holliday (elbow) placed on IL

NORFOLK, Va. — Top-ranked prospect Jackson Holliday is going on the injured list with right elbow inflammation.

The Baltimore Orioles announced the move Friday. Holliday is at Triple-A Norfolk after struggling earlier this season in his first major league stint.

Holliday is MLB Pipeline’s No. 1-ranked prospect. The Orioles drafted the infielder with the top pick in 2022.

He was promoted to the Orioles early this season, but went back to the minors after going 2-for-34 with 18 strikeouts. He has hit .270 with seven home runs and 28 RBIs in 50 games with Norfolk.
