"Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday, who has begun baseball activities after having had an appendectomy Friday, will not go on the 15-day disabled list, Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said this afternoon.

This means Holliday likely will be appearing at some point during the Cardinals' 10-game trip to San Francisco, Arizona and Los Angeles, which begins Friday.

Holliday played catch and ran sprints this evening and expects to take batting practice on Wednesday."
