Matt Holliday back for Yankees Monday after two-game absence

New York Yankees designated hitter Matt Holliday (back) has returned to the lineup Monday against the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

Holliday missed the weekend set due to stiffness in his back. He returns Monday to play designated hitter and hit third for the Yankees versus left-hander Derek Holland and the White Sox.

Holliday is slashing .242/.419/.394 across 43 plate appearances (10 games) this season with one home run and five RBI's.
