“There’s no question, he’s one of our guys that we lean on for a lot of reasons,” said Mike Matheny of the return. “The production, the leadership, and he’s just been and always has been such a consistent presence in this lineup for a long time. All those things put together, it’s great to have him back.”
Holliday missed 31 games due to a quad strain suffered in early June. Pitcher Nick Greenwood was optioned back to Memphis to make room on the roster for Holliday.
