Allen Craig (knee) could be cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment in seven days. Craig has spent the past couple of weeks in St. Louis, getting special treatment on his surgically-repaired knee. He's scheduled to fly to Florida on Sunday to resume workouts and should begin playing in rehab games shortly thereafter. The 27-year-old corner outfielder is on track to join the Cardinals by the end of April.
