St. Louis Cardinals 1B Matt Adams appears to be a more mature hitter in his second season in the bigs, and he's taken steps to improve against left-handed pitchers and to take more consistent at-bats. Adams has done a nice job of going the other way to beat opposing teams' defensive shifts against him, and he's waiting back more on breaking pitches.

St. Louis Cardinals 1B Allen Craig could become the full-time starter in right field next season, with Matt Adams becoming the regular first baseman, if the team decides not to re-sign free-agent OF Carlos Beltran. Letting Beltran go would also create space on the roster for OF Oscar Taveras.

An MRI exam showed no fracture to St. Louis Cardinals 1B Allen Craig's (foot) foot Thursday, Sept. 5. There is no timetable for his return, though, but he's expected to be back this season.

Fantasy Tip: Matt Adams will see a boost in playing time with Craig sidelined. Pick Adams up in deep mixed leagues if you need some power.

St. Louis Cardinals OF Matt Holliday (ankle) left his team's game on Tuesday, Aug. 13, because of a high ankle sprain. Manager Mike Matheny reported that X-rays came up negative. Holliday is considered day-to-day. He injured the ankle when, during another player's at-bat, he attempted to retreat with a hard cut to first base after he took a few steps toward second. He stayed in the contest and reached second on a throwing error but was then replaced by a pinch runner.

Fantasy Tip: It sounds like Holliday will avoid the DL but will probably need at least a couple of days to recuperate. Matt Adams figures to benefit in terms of playing time in the short term.

St. Louis Cardinals OF Matt Holliday (hamstring) is not in the lineup Friday, July 12.

Fantasy Tip: He's likely out until the All-Star break, but keep posted in daily-lineup formats. Matt Adams is in the lineup at first base and warrants a speculative pickup in deep mixed leagues in case Holliday must sit for an extended period.
