Matt Holliday is not in the Cardinals' starting lineup on Thursday afternoon against the Mets.

It's just a routine day off for Holliday. Allen Craig will play left field and Ty Wigginton will start at first base. The Cardinals are trying for a four-game sweep.

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.

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 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.

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.
