Allen Craig is expected to undergo X-rays on Thursday, when the St. Louis Cardinals evaluate his injured left foot.

Craig, who has missed the last 18 games, initially was diagnosed with a sprain in his foot.

John Mozeliak insisted that the team has not decided whether Craig will rehab in the fall instructional league or if he will participate in simulated games in St. Louis.

"I hate to focus too much on that because I don't know if he's ever going to be physically ready to do that this year," Mozeliak said. "The way I'm always more comfortable dealing with players is when they're cleared to go do baseball-related activities. He hasn't been cleared for that yet."
