Holliday (groin) struck out in his lone at-bat during Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Angels.
The Orioles held Holliday out of the lineup for four consecutive games to manage his groin soreness, but the middle infielder was able to make his first appearance since Saturday's win over the Dodgers, serving as a pinch hitter Wednesday. Baltimore has a team day off Thursday, so Holliday has an extra day to recuperate ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Nationals.
