If this game is played, Matt Holliday is set to be back in the lineup for the Cardinals. The left fielder was sent home from the clubhouse yesterday due to fever and flu-like symptoms. Holliday is in the midst of a record-setting 43 games in a row of reaching base safely to start the season.

Jon Jay will also make his return, starting in centerfield and batting seventh. Jay had a pinch-hit appearance last night in his first game since being activated from the disabled list (wrist tendinitis).
