We're getting far enough into Spring Training that a few players are getting banged up, and prospects are certainly not immune to the wear and tear of playing baseball every day.
The St. Louis Cardinals have announced that Allen Craig, who is competing for a roster spot as a 3B or LF, will sit out the weekend with a left quad injury, reports Matthew Leach of MLB.com. Another NL Central 3B candidate, Mat Gamel of the Milwaukee Brewers, was left out of Thursday's lineup with a sore right shoulder, reports Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.
Neither injury is considered serious and both should be back to full activity by the end of the weekend, but for prospects competing for a job, any setback can be devistating.
