Cardinals first baseman Allen Craig hit against live pitching, including Shelby Miller, on Sunday afternoon at Busch Stadium, and the results left him and the team optimistic about his ability to play in the World Series, which starts Wednesday in Boston.

The Cardinals are not yet ready to make any official proclamation. But expect them to add a very important piece back to their lineup – one they've been without since Sept. 4 -- for Game 1 of the World Series in Boston on Wednesday night.

The Cardinals do not have to make anything official until they submit their roster for the World Series on Wednesday morning, but all indications are that Allen Craig will be added and serve as the designated hitter for games one and two in Boston.

Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak will not submit his final 25-man roster for the World Series until Wednesday's 9 a.m. CT deadline. All indications, however, are that Allen Craig's name will be listed on it this time in advance of Game 1 (Wednesday, 6:30 p.m. CT airtime, 7:07 first pitch).

The optimism for the return of Allen Craig continues to grow as the St. Louis Cardinals first baseman had another session of live hitting on Sunday—and besides hitting the ball to all fields, also raised the intensity of his running.
