Jackson Holliday Sent Back Down to Triple-A
Demoted After Just Seven Games
The Baltimore Orioles have demoted their top prospect, Jackson Holliday, to Triple-A after just seven games in the Major Leagues.
Reasons for Demotion

- Struggles at the plate: He recorded only one hit and struck out six times in those 11 at-bats.
- Need for more development: The Orioles believe Holliday would benefit from more regular playing time in the minors.
Orioles' Decision
Orioles general manager Mike Elias explained the decision, saying, "We feel like this is the best move for Jackson's development at this time. He needs more consistent playing time and a chance to work on some things in his game."
