ST. LOUIS -- Greg Holland's rough weekend in Pittsburgh exhausted the leeway the reliever had earned with his four previous appearances. President of baseball operations John Mozeliak said Tuesday that Cardinals did not anticipate using Holland in save opportunities in the immediate future, effectively handing closing duties back to Bud Norris.
"I don't think he'll be used in the ninth inning at this time," Mozeliak said of Holland.
Signed to a one-year, $14 million contract on Opening Day and coming off a third All-Star appearance, Holland's pedigree and contract status earned him considerable rope over the season's first month.
