Allen Craig (knee surgery) said he expects to begin running and agility drills "in the near future."
Craig has been limited to weight-room workouts since arriving at the Cardinals' spring training complex, but he told reporters Monday that he probably could do more. "It's just one of those things where you only have a certain amount of energy in a day, and right now the focus is on the weight room," Craig said. "It's not that I can't go out and take swings in the cage right now. It's just not worth doing that and taking away from something else." He's likely to be ready for live games by early May.
