CLEVELAND (AP) – The St. Louis Cardinals have placed outfielder Jon Jay on the 15-day disabled list with tendinitis in his left wrist.

The club made the move before Thursday’s series finale against the Indians. The Cardinals recalled outfielder/first baseman Xavier Scruggs from Triple-A Memphis to fill Jay’s roster spot.

Jay had arthroscopic surgery on the wrist in October.

Matt Holliday, who was struck on the left elbow by Indians pitcher Corey Kluber on Wednesday night, was originally not in the starting lineup but convinced manager Mike Matheny to play him at designated hitter against Cleveland’s Trevor Bauer. X-rays were negative on Holliday’s bruised elbow.

Holliday is batting .346 with 21 RBIs and has reached base in all 31 games this season.

Scruggs batted .229 with a team-leading six homers and 18 RBIs for Memphis. He appeared in nine games for the Cardinals last season.
