Jackson Holliday Nears Return: Stitches Out Monday Post-Hand Surgery

Jackson Holliday will have stitches removed from his surgically repaired right hand Monday, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com. Following the removal, the 22-year-old infielder will be cleared to gradually begin activities. He is expected to start the season on the 10-day injured list due to hamate bone surgery, but it could be a minimum-length stint. Jordan Westburg and Blaze Alexander are candidates to play second base in his absence for the Baltimore Orioles.
