Lance Berkman (calf) could return to the lineup sometime this weekend. Berkman will not be activated Friday, the first day he's eligible, but he hopes to do some sprinting for the first time before the game, and he could play Saturday or Sunday if that goes well. "It's pretty much day to day at this point," Berkman said. "I don't know about (Friday) being the day but I feel like I'm close." The Cardinals can afford to play it safe with Berkman with Allen Craig now back in the fold.
