Jackson Holliday - Moving up to Double-AThe Orioles promoted Holliday from High-A Aberdeen to Double-A Bowie on Sunday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
ImpactBaltimore is using the final day before the All-Star break to move several youngsters up a rung on the minor-league ladder, and no promotion is more significant than that of Holliday, the top prospect in the system and perhaps all of baseball. The 19-year-old is on the move for the second time this season, as he showed no signs of slowing down after making the jump to Aberdeen following a 14-game stint with Single-A Delmarva to begin the campaign. Despite being one of the younger hitters in the South Atlantic League, Holliday turned in a .314/.452/.502 slash line while walking at a 19.5 percent clip and striking out in 20.8 percent of his 259 plate appearances. The young shortstop was also a menace on the basepaths, notching 17 steals in 24 attempts.

Coby Mayo - Moves up to Triple-AThe Orioles promoted Mayo from Double-A Bowie to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.
ImpactThe Norfolk lineup had a need for another power hitter after outfielder Colton Cowser was recently called up to the big leagues, and the 21-year-old should help fill some of that void. The corner-infield prospect slashed .310/.427/.609 with 17 home runs in 344 plate appearances at Bowie, doing so while maintaining a manageable 24.4 percent strikeout rate.

ImpactThe 30-year-old returned to baseball activities in late June and is hoping to ramp up his running program this week, which could be the final hurdle before being cleared for game action. Polanco landed on the shelf June 10 with a hamstring strain and will likely require a handful of games in the minors before rejoining the Twins.
