Willson Contreras - Taking full BP in cage Contreras (forearm) will take full batting practice in the indoor batting cage Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Impact Contreras is barely more than a month removed from surgery to repair a fractured left forearm. He was given a 10-week timetable to return following the operation but would appear to be ahead of schedule, given that he's already taking batting practice. Before being activated from the injured list, Contreras will surely need to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment, but it's uncertain when he might be cleared to join one of the Cardinals' affiliates for game action.
