Allen Craig (hamstring) took batting practice and fielded grounders at second base before Thursday's game.

Interesting. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny has expressed a hesitancy to stick Craig at second base as former manager Tony La Russa did for a handful of games last season, but perhaps he's warmed to the idea. We can't imagine he'd spend a ton of time there, though, as he's a well below average defender there and would be more susceptible to injury. Plus, with Lance Berkman's (knee) season possibly over, Craig is needed at first base. The 27-year-old is slated to return when first eligible on June 1. May 25 - 8:26 AM

1B	1	Lance Berkman D.L. Lance Berkman will be sidelined 8-10 weeks after having surgery Friday to repair a meniscus tear. He also had a cartilage tear shaved down, but the important thing is that his ACL didn't need to be repaired, which would have cost Berkman the rest of the season. Now, it appears that he could be ready sometime in August. It's great news for a Cardinals team that's dealt with their fair share of injuries this season. Matt Adams will continue to handle first base for now, but Allen Craig (hamstring) is due back in a week. May 25
	2	Matt Adams
	3	Matt Carpenter D.L. Cardinals placed INF Matt Carpenter on the 15-day disabled list with a right oblique strain. Carpenter suffered the injury on a first-inning double on Tuesday. The severity of the injury isn't yet known, but oblique injuries usually mean more than a minimum stay on the disabled list. Rookie Matt Adams should have the clear path to playing time at first base for now. May 23

CF	1	Jon Jay D.L. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said he's hopeful that Jon Jay (shoulder) will be ready for activation from the disabled list when first eligible on May 30. Jay has yet to perform any baseball-related activities, so it would seem to be a longshot that he'll be ready in five days. But, Matheny's optimism must mean the outfielder is feeling better. It's not clear if Jay will require a short rehab assignment before returning. May 25

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Chris Carpenter D.L. Chris Carpenter is showing greater flexibility with his right shoulder and could be ready to begin a throwing program sometime in the next four weeks. Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said back on May 12 that Carp could start a throwing program in mid-June, which is now about three weeks away. Recent reports on the veteran righty have all been positive, but his comeback from nerve issues in his shoulder has been a slow process. He shouldn't be counted on before the All-Star break. May 25

Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Jason Motte
	2	Fernando Salas
	3	Mitchell Boggs
	4	Kyle McClellan D.L. Kyle McClellan (elbow) won't throw for 6-8 weeks. McClellan was told this week by Dr. James Andrews that he does not need a second Tommy John reconstructive elbow procedure, but that doesn't mean the right-hander is guaranteed to return this year. He's been diagnosed with a strained flexor pronator and a small tear of his UCL. It's going to be a long road of rehab. May 22
	5	Marc Rzepczynski
	6	Eduardo Sanchez
	7	Scott Linebrink D.L. Scott Linebrink (shoulder) is currently playing catch from a distance of 90 feet. Linebrink will stretch it out to 120 feet before throwing off flat ground. The hope is that he'll be ready to throw off a mound by the Cardinals' current seven-game homestand. The veteran right-hander has been on the disabled list all season with right shoulder capsulitis. May 22
	8	Victor Marte
	9	Brandon Dickson
