Brian Barton (hand) has rejoined the Cardinals, but the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that he's not expected to come off the disabled list for several more days.
Barton reached the 20-day limit on his minor league rehab assignment after hitting .260 with three homers in 19 games at Triple-A, but as a Rule 5 pick he must either remain on the MLB roster or the DL. "We'll work him for a day or two, get an eyeball on him for ourselves," manager Tony La Russa said. "At some point soon he'll be activated. We want to take a look at him."
