The Baltimore Orioles optioned struggling infielder Jackson Holliday to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

Holliday, 20, is just 2-for-34 (.059) with one RBI and 18 strikeouts in 10 games since making his major-league debut on April 10.

The son of seven-time All-Star outfielder Matt Holliday, the younger Holliday joined the Orioles after hitting .333 with two homers and nine RBIs in 10 games at Norfolk.

He was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 draft out of Stillwater (Okla.) High School. Playing shortstop and second base, he has batted .321 with 15 homers, 93 RBIs and 29 stolen bases in 155 games in the minors.

Also on Friday, the Orioles selected the contract of outfielder Ryan McKenna and designated catcher David Banuelos for assignment.

McKenna, 27, is batting .244 with two homers and five RBIs in 12 games this season with Norfolk. He has hit .221 with six homers and 43 RBIs in 282 career games with the Orioles.

Banuelos, 27, did not record a hit in his lone at-bat in his major-league career on April 16.
