Holliday went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox. Holliday is up to four steals this season, all of which he's accumulated over his last 14 games. In that span, he's batting just .167 (8-for-48) with 17 strikeouts, but he's still seeing the bulk of the playing time at second base due to a plethora of injuries in the Baltimore infield. The 20-year-old is at a .173/.227/.304 slash line with five home runs, 21 RBI, 25 runs scored, three doubles and two triples through 49 contests.

Holliday is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Boston, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. After getting off to a fast start initially upon his promotion from Triple-A Norfolk on July 31, Holliday has stumbled to a .139/.208/.200 batting line with a 34.7 percent strikeout rate over his last 20 games. Livan Soto will start at second base and bat ninth for the Orioles on Monday.

Holliday went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Rockies. Holliday has three steals this season, all of which have come over the last five games. The 20-year-old hadn't used his speed much earlier in the campaign, though that was partly due to rarely getting on base in his first stint in the majors. Holliday now has a .180/.235/.331 slash line with five home runs, 20 RBI, 24 runs scored, two doubles and two triples over his first 40 big-league games. The Orioles' laundry list of injuries will help Holliday stay in the lineup, but he'll likely remain at the bottom of the order unless his bat gets hot.
