Matt Holliday (hamstring) took batting practice on Thursday. It's the first time he's done so since leaving last Thursday's game with a right hamstring strain. Holliday has also done some light running but will have to show he can run full speed before returning to the lineup. When asked if he'll be ready to play Friday, the outfielder only said "we'll see."
