NEW YORK -- The St. Louis Cardinals have completed their deal with free-agent closer Greg Holland and put left-handed reliever Brett Cecil on the 10-day disabled list with a strained pitching shoulder.
The Cardinals made the moves Saturday before playing the Mets in the second game of the season. They also called up left-hander Ryan Sherriff from Triple-A Memphis and transferred righty Alex Reyes from the 10-day DL to the 60-day DL.
Holland will report to Class A Palm Beach to prepare for his St. Louis debut. The 32-year-old righty signed a one-year deal for $14 million.
