Reports: Orioles recalling No. 1 prospect Jackson Holliday

Jackson Holliday, who entered the season as baseball's No. 1 prospect per MLB Pipeline but struggled in his first major league stint, is heading back to the Baltimore Orioles, multiple media outlets reported Tuesday night.

Holliday, 20, is being called up to replace fellow infield prospect Connor Norby, who was shipped to the Miami Marlins on Tuesday along with outfielder Kyle Stowers in exchange for left-handed starter Trevor Rogers.

It was not known whether Holliday -- the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 draft -- would be activated before the Wednesday afternoon series finale against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays. He is expected to mainly play second base upon his activation, where Norby had been starting.

Holliday, who went 2-for-34 (.059) with 18 strikeouts in 10 games with the Orioles in April, was scratched from Triple-A Norfolk's lineup on Tuesday. At Norfolk this season, Holliday turned it around by hitting .271 with 10 home runs, 38 RBIs, 75 runs and a .908 OPS in 73 games.

Along with trading Norby, the Orioles are without infielder Jorge Mateo, who dislocated his left elbow last week and was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Tuesday.
