Jackson Holliday breaks hamate bone, will miss Opening Day 2026.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday will miss Opening Day 2026 after breaking his right hamate bone during live batting practice, the team announced. He is set to undergo surgery and is expected to be sidelined for several weeks. Holliday, 22, the 2022 top draft pick and son of former All-Star Matt Holliday, hit .242 with 17 home runs and 55 RBIs last season. His absence likely means newly acquired Blaze Alexander will take over at second base. Third baseman Jordan Westburg is recovering from a right oblique strain but is not expected to miss the start of the season.
