Matt Holliday went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI versus the Cubs on Thursday.
Holliday snapped an eight-game skid in which he went without an RBI and his OPS fell under .800. He'll probably improve from here the rest of the way, but he doesn't appear to be a top-flight fantasy outfielder any longer.

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said he's considered moving Matt Holliday out of the No. 3 spot in the batting order.
"We've talked about it. I've talked to Matt," Matheny said. "He says he'll do what is best for the team. We've got a team that is doing OK. It's not necessarily time to start drawing things up differently. That's something that we have talked about, something that we may consider, have considered and may implement." Holliday has hit eight homers and driven in 30 runs this season, but he's also batting just .245. Yadier Molina and Allen Craig would certainly be options to move up in the order if a change is made.

Matt Holliday hit his eighth home run of the season in the Cardinals' defeat of the Royals on Wednesday.
It was a sixth-inning bomb to deep left-center field that provided St. Louis with its first run. Holliday has 30 RBI and 36 runs scored in 48 games this season, and is well on his way to another productive campaign.

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 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.
