Orioles bringing up top prospect Holliday
ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports the Orioles are calling up top prospect Jackson Holliday. It’s happening. Holliday will make his highly-anticipated major-league debut on Wednesday against the Red Sox at historic Fenway Park after a sizzling-hot 10-game stretch at Triple-A Norfolk.
The 20-year-old will presumably take over as Baltimore’s primary second baseman and figures to make an immediate impact for fantasy managers. It might take him a few more years to grow into some serious over-the-fence pop, but he unquestionably possesses the elite tools required to blossom into a five-category fantasy superstar down the road. There might be some initial turbulence as he adjusts to life in the majors at such a young age, but he should be rostered in all fantasy formats until further notice.
Valdez goes 0-for-3 on Tuesday
Enmanuel Valdez went 0-for-3 on Tuesday, leaving him 4-for-35 to start the year. He also appeared to injure a finger or a fingernail while fielding a grounder, but he remained in afterwards. Valdez needs to pick it up quickly. Vaughn Grissom is close to beginning a rehab assignment and could rejoin the Red Sox in a couple of weeks. Valdez got a reprieve there with the Trevor Story injury opening up shortstop, but if he doesn’t start hitting, he still might wind up bumped from the roster once Grissom is ready. Even before that, he might start losing some time to Romy Gonzalez.
