Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said Holliday (back) should be ready to go Sunday, Jim Hayes of FOX Sports Midwest reports.

Analysis:

Holliday was removed from Saturday's game after one inning with what was labeled mid-back tightness, but it seems the club was just being cautious. The Cardinals will close the series with Cincinnati against right-hander Mike Leake, against whom Holliday is 14-for-36 (.389 average) with three doubles and a homer in his career.
