Already-thin Cards scratch Holliday

KANSAS CITY -- Matt Holliday was a game-time scratch from the Cardinals' lineup on Sunday due to a left forearm contusion. Holliday suffered the contusion Saturday night in the fifth inning when he was hit by a Edinson Volquez pitch.

With Jason Heyward dealing with some tightness in his left hip, Jon Jay battling back from left wrist tendinitis and now Holliday's forearm contusion, the Cardinals have some moving parts to consider as they contemplate their outfield picture moving forward.

Mark Reynolds took Holliday's spot in left field on Sunday.
