The St. Louis Cardinals completed their deal with free-agent closer Greg Holland and put left-handed reliever Brett Cecil on the 10-day disabled list because of a strained pitching shoulder.

Holland, 32, signed a one-year deal for $14 million. He had 41 saves for Colorado last season and a 3-6 record with a 3.61 ERA.

Arizona, Atlanta, Colorado, Milwaukee, Philadelphia and San Diego are off Sunday.

The Braves said it will be the franchise’s first scheduled Sunday off since May 21, 1933, when the Boston Braves were in Pittsburgh but didn’t play because of Pennsylvania’s religious-based “blue laws” that dated to 1794.
