ST. LOUIS -- The Cardinals have a series of roster decisions looming, as they anticipate activating Jhonny Peralta (upper respiratory illness) and Stephen Piscotty (right hamstring strain) from the 10-day disabled list during the team's weekend series against the Giants.
After appearing in three High A rehab games, Peralta transferred his assignment to Triple-A Memphis, where he was 3-for-7 in his past two games. Peralta is expected to remain in Memphis through Wednesday, Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said, and be activated Friday.
Piscotty opened a rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield on Tuesday and is projected to return to the Major League team on Saturday or Sunday.
