 Matt Holliday-OF- CardinalsNov. 20 - 6:36 pm et
Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports that the Red Sox have expressed interest in four of Scott Boras' clients -- Matt Holliday, Mike Gonzalez, Rick Ankiel and Adrian Beltre.
The Red Sox are looking at Holliday as a more expensive alternative should they fail to re-sign Jason Bay. Gonzalez, a left-hander, could presumably take the role of Billy Wagner if he signs as a closer elsewhere. Ankiel is a surprising name, but since they just acquired Jeremy Hermida, also a left-handed outfielder, it's hard to see a fit. Lastly, Beltre would only make sense if the Red Sox find a suitor for Mike Lowell, who has one year and $12 million left on his contract. It's important to understand that this is just the first day of free-agency, so look for the Red Sox to be linked to most, or all, of the major free agents.

 Rick Ankiel-OF - Cardinals Sep. 30 - 4:26 pm et

Rick Ankiel is out of the starting lineup for the fourth time in five games on Wednesday.
Manager Tony La Russa says that Ankiel's shoulder isn't a problem and points to the fact that Colby Rasmus is having better at-bats as the reason that Ankiel is benched. Either way, Ankiel belongs on the bench in NL-only leagues and could even be droppable if there's an alternative.

Ryan Ludwick is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Astros.
Ludwick gets the night off, with Rick Ankiel drawing the start and batting fifth against Yorman Bazardo.

 Rick Ankiel-OF - Cardinals Sep. 21 - 9:41 am et

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pirates have their eye on impending free agent outfielder Rick Ankiel.
Ankiel, 30, is batting just .234 this season with 11 home runs and 37 RBI, but the Pirates love his athleticism and his strong outfield arm. He hit .264/.337/.506 with 25 dingers and 71 RBI in 2008, his first full season as a major league center fielder. With Colby Rasmus in tow, the Cardinals are likely to let him walk after this season.

 Matt Holliday-OF - Cardinals Sep. 9 - 3:43 pm et  

Matt Holliday departed Wednesday's game in the fifth inning due to a bruised left knee.
Holliday stumbled and fell attempting to beat out a grounder in the third inning, but stayed in the game to play defense before Rick Ankiel pinch-hit for him in the fifth. At this point, all indications are that removing him from the game was precautionary, and we'd be surprised if he's not ready to go against the Braves on Friday. Holliday was 0-for-1 with a sac fly before departing.

 Colby Rasmus-OF - Cardinals Sep. 8 - 9:17 pm et  

Colby Rasmus was held out of Tuesday's lineup with a sore left heel.
Rasmus might not return before the weekend. He's been dealing with the injury for much of the season, but it expanded Tuesday. "It's in my heel," said the rookie, "but like, right up above my heel, under my Achilles." Rick Ankiel will draw all of the starts in center field while Rasmus is out.
