Matt Holliday, set back in his initial attempt to play first base on Saturday because of lower back tightness, is slated to start for the first time Monday against the New York Mets. But he will not play left field or first base, but serve as the designated hitter, which National League teams are allowed to use until halfway through spring training.

Tim Cooney and Matt Bowman are both throwing off the mound this morning. Cooney, pictured below, has been ramping up his work after being slowed early in camp due to what Mike Matheny described as “achy-ness.”

Both Matt Holliday and Adam Wainwright will make their first starts of the Grapefruit League season today. Their presence marks not just a return of production lost to injury last year, but the duo also represents half of the four leadership pillars Mike Matheny looks to for setting the tone in the St. Louis Cardinals clubhouse.
