ST. LOUIS -- Though the Cardinals don't believe Kolten Wong's latest hamstring issue is serious, Saturday's quick turnaround forced them to be cautious with their second baseman, at least for a day. Wong was not in the lineup a morning after cramps in both hamstrings forced him out of Friday's 5-3 win over the Giants.
Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said Wong could be available off the bench, and that he projects Wong's absence to be a short one.
"The good news is we feel like we've gotten ahead of it," Shildt said.
