Matt Holliday is close to ready in Tampa and would prefer to be with the big club, but it appears the team may wait until rosters expand Sept. 1 to call him up. Team higher-ups want to make sure he’s ready. In the meantime, Tampa Yankees players are happy to have him around — he recently took the Class A team out to Ocean Prime in Tampa. Holliday got off to a great start but went into a serious tailspin after developing a virus that sapped his strength. The Yankees’ offense hasn’t been as good in the second half, due to Aaron Judge’s slump and a variety of other factors, including injuries. But Holliday will get his chance next month, at the latest.
