7 Matt Holliday, LF

Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday is not in the team's starting lineup Thursday against the Mets, according to FoxSports Midwest.

Holliday has played in 37 games and is receiving a routine day off. He'll be replaced by Allen Craig in left. Holliday is hitting .268/.361/.442 in 138 at-bats. He should return to the lineup Friday against Brewers starter Wily Peralta. 

Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday hit his sixth home run of the year Monday against the Mets.

Holliday took a Scott Atchison slider out to left field in the bottom of the seventh inning for a two-run homer. He added a single earlier in the game, and scored two total runs. He's hitting .271/.369/.450 in 129 at-bats.

As expected, Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday was able to play through a minor ankle injury during Sunday's series finale against the Rockies. Holliday, who tweaked his ankle when he hit first base trying to beat out a grounder Saturday, went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in the 8-2 loss.

Holliday is batting .237 with two home runs and five RBI over the last 10 games (38 at-bats).

Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday is in Sunday's lineup despite a minor ankle injury suffered in Saturday's game, Fox Sports Midwest reports.

Holliday was pulled after rolling his ankle at first base Saturday against Colorado, but the move was largely precautionary. Holliday will look to extend a three-game hitting streak Sunday.

Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Rockies in the ninth inning with what appeared to be an ankle injury.

Holliday ran through first base on a groundout in the bottom of the eighth inning and stepped awkwardly on the bag. He finished the game 2 for 5 with one run before he was replaced by Shane Robinson in left field.

The team has not given an update on the injury.
