Holliday (quad) may likely return this season according to general manager John Mozeliak, the St. Louis-Post Dispatch reports.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday is likely to return this season after suffering another quadriceps injury, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Holliday suffered a recurrence of a strained right quadriceps that cost him six weeks earlier this year, and it was initially feared that he would be out much longer this time. "We’re still very hopeful that he’ll be able to contribute this year,” Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said Thursday. “A lot will be really determined over the next week or two. It’s my understanding that it’s not as deep as last time, which is encouraging, but you’ve still got to [give it time to] heal. It’s very disappointing because we were hopeful that he’d be back in that lineup. When he was playing, you saw the glimpses of why he’s important to this team.” Holliday will be reevaluated in one to two weeks, at which point a firmer timetable for his recovery could be established.

St. Louis Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right quadriceps, according to USA Today. He suffered the injury -- an aggravation of his previous quad ailment -- in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Holliday was already on the disabled list from June 9 to July 12 due to a previous injury to the same muscle, missing 31 games of action. There is no word yet on how much time Holliday will miss with this latest issue, but St. Louis acquired outfielder Brandon Moss from the Cleveland Indians on Thursday. Holliday, who is hitting .290 with four home runs and 31 RBI, has played in 63 of the Cardinals' 111 games this season. This year will be the first time he's played in fewer than 120 games in his 12-year career.

Holliday suffered the injury during Wednesday's game while trying to beat out a double play and was removed afterward. The veteran spent six weeks on the disabled list with the same injury earlier this season. "Only thing I do know, it's the same spot as before," manager Mike Matheny said. "He's getting a MRI tonight. No results as of yet, but trying to get it looked at as quick as possible to see the severity. I can't deny the fact that it plays into the equation [at the trade deadline]. I think once we have a better idea of what kind of severity there is to the injury, we'll have a better idea of what we need to do to move forward. I don't think this is something that we would completely write off as an area where we'd have to look." More information will be released when the results of Holliday's MRI are available.
