Allen Craig (knee) is scheduled to shift his rehab assignment to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday. It's another step in the right direction for Craig, who has been on the disabled list since the start of the regular season due to his ongoing recovery from offseason knee surgery. The 27-year-old corner infielder should be ready to join the Cardinals' bench (or perhaps starting lineup) by early next week.
