Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Slated for wrist surgery
Rotowire
Holliday will undergo left wrist surgery next week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Holliday is dealing with a triangular fibrocartilage complex tear in the wrist. The current estimate points to Holliday needing 10 weeks to rehab, which would give him plenty of time to be ready ahead of spring training. Holliday was limited to only 98 games this season due to injury, slashing .229/.300/.340 in those contests.

Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Not expected back this season
Rotowire
Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said Monday that it's unlikely Holliday (wrist) will return this season, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Holliday will be eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list later this week, but the Orioles are a safe bet to be officially eliminated from the postseason picture by then. Additionally, the club is still trying to get a better handle on Holliday's left wrist injury, as he will seek out additional opinions before determining a course of action. Holliday will finish his disappointing 2026 campaign with a .229/.300/.340 batting line, seven home runs and eight stolen bases over 98 contests.

Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Moves to injured list
Rotowire
The Orioles placed Holliday on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with left wrist inflammation, retroactive to Tuesday.
Manager Craig Albernaz said before Wednesday's game against the Mets that Holliday is "banged up," and the Orioles have now determined that his wrist injury is serious enough to warrant a trip to the IL. The 22-year-old will be eligible to return from the IL before the O's begin their final series of the regular season against the Yankees. Until then, Jeremiah Jackson figures to take over as Baltimore's primary second baseman, while Jose Barrero will come up from Triple-A to replenish the team's infield depth.
