Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday will undergo an appendectomy today.
Holliday, who hit a solo home run in the opener, went home after the 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Padres and began feeling pain.
The team medical staff examined him and will perform the operation today.
Recovery time is generally 4 to 6 weeks before any "strenuous activity" can begin.
In 2010, Holliday was the only National League outfielder to finish in the top 10 in batting average (.312), on-base percentage (.390) and slugging percentage (.532).
This spring, Holliday hit .345 and got off to a strong start in Thursday's opener, going 3 for 4 with a homer and two RBIs.
Without Holliday, the Cardinals have four outfielders on the current roster: Colby Rasmus, Lance Berkman, John Jay and Allen Craig.
No decision has been made yet on a roster move.
Holiday OUT!

Re: Holiday OUT!
bleh, this totally sucks. Time for Jay and/or Craig to prove that the people that once hyped them weren't totally wrong. I remembered being ~disappointed when Bonilla pulled his hamstring, but that worked out for the best. Obviously I don't think an aging Bonilla is the same as Holliday in his prime, nor do I expect Jay or Craig to turn into the next Pujols. But, sometimes an injury allows somebody to prove themself when they otherwise wouldn't have the chance.

I still bet you he'll sign with Washington in the offseason, but I kid about the 0-5. He'll hit his usual .330+, 40 homers, 120 RBI
