Holliday was out of the lineup Tuesday, but received good news on his left wrist. "He has a deep bruise and that made everybody's day," manager Clint Hurdle said. Holliday was hit by a pitch from Arizona starter Claudio Vargas. "It beats the heck out of the alternative of being down for any length of time," Hurdle said.

Rockies left fielder Holliday left Monday night's game with the Arizona Diamondbacks with a bruised wrist. Holliday was hit on the left wrist with a 1-0 pitch from Arizona starter Claudio Vargas that loaded the bases with two outs in the third. Holliday remained in the game as Brad Hawpe flied out to right to end the inning, but did not take the field in the fourth. He was listed as day to day.

Holliday had a career-high eight RBI against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday, which included a couple of three-run home runs. His second home run came off Padres third baseman Sean Burroughs.

Holliday has been activated from the 15-day disabled list by the Colorado Rockies and is expected to be available for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals.

6/10/2005

The Colorado Rockies placed Holliday on the 15-day disabled list Friday, retroactive to Thursday, with a broken right pinky finger. The injury originally was thought to be a sprain, but the 25-year-old outfielder will sit out at least two weeks with a fracture. He was hitting .291 with four home runs and 23 RBI.

As a precautionary measure, the Rockies decided to give Holliday the day off Sunday, due to a sprained pinkie finger. However, the injury is considered minor, and the outfielder should resume regular duties within the next couple of days. Cory Sullivan got the starting nod in Holliday's stead. For the season, Holliday is batting .305 with four home runs, 23 RBI and six stolen bases in 51 contests.
