    The St. Louis Cardinals decided not to put Matt Holliday on the disabled list Saturday, opting to wait a few days to see if the slugger can make a speedy return from an appendectomy.

    The left fielder had the surgery Friday but the team believes the condition was caught early and he could be back before the end of a 15-day DL stint.

    Manager Tony La Russa said the team would wait until Monday or Tuesday, hinting that Holliday might even stop by Busch Stadium on Saturday.

    General manager John Mozeliak said Holliday would have no baseball activities for five days, and said early indications were positive.

    "They're saying it went well," La Russa said. "That's all I know so far."
