CHICAGO • With Matt Holliday likely out of the lineup for at least a month, the Cardinals intend to explore the trade market for possible short-term additions, though few options could lead them back to more at-bats for internal subs.
“We have to understand all of our options,” general manager John Mozeliak said.
Holliday met with the team’s hand specialist early Friday morning, visiting Dr. Charles Goldfarb in Chicago because he was there for a conference. Goldfarb confirmed that Holliday has a fractured right thumb, and he will re-evaluate the left fielder’s hand Monday in St.
