The Baltimore Orioles plan to call up top prospect Jackson Holliday before Wednesday night's game at Boston, according to a person with knowledge of the decision.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday night because the move had not yet been announced.
Holliday was the No. 1 pick in the 2022 amateur draft out of high school in Oklahoma and breezed through the minor leagues, narrowly missing out on a spot on the Orioles' opening-day roster last month. The 20-year-old infielder hit .333 with two home runs and five doubles in 42 at-bats during a short stint with Triple-A Norfolk this season.
Holliday is a son of seven-time All-Star and 2007 NL batting champion Matt Holliday.
