Matt Holliday - OF - Cardinals

Matt Holliday went 2-for-4 and hit a two-run homer versus the Mets in Monday's win.

Holliday hasn't gotten hot yet, but he's still plugging right along at .271 with six homers, 27 runs scored and 23 RBI in 35 games. One interesting thing is that his strikeout rate is well down; he's fanned just 19 times in 129 at-bats (last year, he struck out 132 times in 599 at-bats). It will lead to a higher average if it stays down.

Matt Holliday - OF - Cardinals

Matt Holliday is back in the Cardinals' lineup Sunday.

Holliday was removed from Saturday's game after he rolled his ankle on first base, but he's apparently fine. The outfielder is batting .273/.376/.438 with five homers and 21 RBI this season.

Matt Holliday - OF - Cardinals

Matt Holliday was pulled from Saturday's game against the Rockies after rolling his right ankle.

Holliday was jogging out a groundout when he stepped awkwardly on the first base bag. He was able to walk off the field under his own power but will likely sit out Sunday's series-finale against the Rockies. Shane Robinson replaced him in left field on Saturday.

May 11 - 4:51 PM

Matt Holliday - OF - Cardinals

Matt Holliday went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's win over the Brewers.

He also scored three runs and drew a walk. His third-inning blast off former teammate Kyle Lohse traveled 458 feet to center field. Holliday has yet to go on a real tear this season, yet he still owns a respectable .273/.379/.444 batting line to go along with four homers, 18 RBI and an .824 OPS. History indicates that he'll only get better.

May 3 - 11:32 PM

Matt Holliday - OF - Cardinals

Matt Holliday launched a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

The Cardinals are desperate for offense right now, but Holliday's laser blast into the left field seats in the sixth inning was enough. The Redbirds outfielder has gone deep just three times this month and is hitting .276, but he's driven in 16 runs.

Apr 30 - 10:39 PM

Matt Holliday - OF - Cardinals

Matt Holliday launched a solo homer in Friday's loss to the Phillies.

It was his second home run of the season. While Holliday is hitting just .241 (13-for-54) so far, he has driven in 12 runs in 15 games. Of course, it's fair to expect his batting average to bounce back before long.

Apr 19 - 10:15 PM

Matt Holliday - OF - Cardinals

Matt Holliday returned to the Cardinals' lineup Monday.

Holliday isn't injured and was a healthy scratch Sunday. He's back in the lineup in left field, while Daniel Descalso is starting at second base over Matt Carpenter.

Matt Holliday - OF - Cardinals

Matt Holliday (side) is back in the Cardinals' Grapefruit League lineup on Wednesday.

Holliday was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup due to some tightness in his left side, but the Cardinals were merely being cautious. It shouldn't be an issue moving forward.

Matt Holliday - OF - Cardinals

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny told ESPN's Tim Kurkjian that Matt Holliday (side) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup for precautionary reasons.

Matheny was a late minute scratch Wednesday due to some tightness in his left side, but fortunately for the Cardinals, it doesn't appear to be a major concern. Matheny said that Holliday will "probably" return to action on Wednesday.

Matt Holliday - OF - Cardinals

Matt Holliday was scratched from Tuesday's Grapefruit League lineup due to tightness in his left side.

No word on the severity, but an oblique injury this late in the spring wouldn't bode well for his readiness for the season. The Cardinals should provide an update on his status soon.

Matt Holliday (illness) is now hoping to return to action Thursday.

	2	Jaime Garcia D.L. Cardinals placed LHP Jaime Garcia on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder strain. Garcia has been dealing with shoulder issues for over a year and will visit Dr. James Andrews to try to get some answers. Surgery could ultimately be the course taken. The Cardinals are calling up reliever Mitchell Boggs on Saturday to fill their vacant roster spot but will have to add a new starting pitcher soon. Maybe 2012 first-rounder Michael Wacha will get a chance. May 18
	3	Jake Westbrook D.L. Jake Westbrook (elbow) played light catch on Sunday. Westbrook made 25 throws from 60 feet and said he felt good. The right-hander hasn't recovered as quickly as hoped from inflammation in his right elbow, requiring a pair of injections. He's expected to miss at least a couple more starts. May 19
	4	Lance Lynn
	5	Shelby Miller
	6	Chris Carpenter D.L. Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Chris Carpenter is conditioning himself to be a starter. When it was initially revealed that Carpenter was going to attempt a comeback this season, the general assumption was that he would be aiming to join the St. Louis bullpen. But the veteran right-hander is stretching himself out in case a spot opens up in the Cardinals' starting rotation. The remarkable story continues. May 16

The move is being made in order to clear space on the 40-man roster for John Gast, who will be called up to start Tuesday. Motte is out for the year following Tommy John surgery. May 12
