Cardinals manager Tony La Russa confirmed that Matt Holliday (finger) will not start Wednesday's season finale against the Astros. Holliday experienced additional discomfort in his right middle finger prior to Tuesday's game and was eventually pulled in the third inning. "I don't know what this means, beyond [Allen] Craig is playing left field tomorrow," said La Russa. "But it's not good news." La Russa wouldn't speculate about his available beyond Wednesday, but it's very possible he could be sidelined if the Cardinals make the postseason.
