One of my favorite roster moves—at least in verb form—is when a player comes off the disabled list. The team activates the once-injured player. It's a verb more befitting a robot than a man. The St. Louis Cardinals activated Matt Holliday on Monday before the club's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee.
#STLCards activate All-Star outfielder Matt Holliday (right quad strain) from the 15-day DL. Matt Adams in starting lineup tonight

By now you're familiar with Holliday's machine-like production since breaking into the majors.
