Worth noting

• Matheny said first baseman/outfielder Allen Craig will stay at home and rest for the remainder of the Cardinals' seven-game road trip. Craig sprained his left foot Sept. 4, but the club has said he should be back before season's end.

• Cardinals assistant hitting coach Bengie Molina, older brother of catcher Yadier, is not yet back with the club as he cares for his mother, who is battling an illness.
