NEW YORK -- The signing of All-Star closer Greg Holland finally gave the Cardinals a concrete answer to their late-inning questions. It also forced a roster decision that required the club to shift its plans for top prospect Alex Reyes.
The club transferred Reyes to the 60-day disabled list to clear room on the 40-man roster for Holland, whom it officially signed to a one-year deal Saturday. The move precludes Reyes, who is nearing the finish line in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, from returning before May 28. The club had initially circled May 1 as a soft target date for Reyes' return.
