Matt Holliday

Yankees scratch Matt Holliday from Saturday's lineup

New York Yankees designated hitter Matt Holliday (back stiffness) was scratched from the Yankees' starting lineup on Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

What It Means:

Holliday has a history of back issues so the Yankees will give him the day off on Saturday. Chris Carter enters the Bombers' lineup and is hitting third against Carlos Martinez.

Our models project Carter for 0.85 hits over 4.2 plate appearances on Sunday with a 55.0 percent chance of scoring a run and a 57.0 percent chance of driving in an RBI.
