If Allen Craig returns to the St. Louis Cardinals in the postseason, they'll have to advance past the division series.
Craig has been ruled out for the NLDS because of an injured left foot.
"Understanding the severity of this injury, as optimistic as we were when it first happened, the reality is we have to take a very conservative approach," general manager John Mozeliak said. "To try to rush him back or push him to get back would put him in peril."
Craig is hitting .315/.373/.457 with 13 home runs and 97 RBIs this season.
