Craig was attended to briefly by manager Mike Matheny and the team trainer, but was able to remain in the game.

Craig, who grounded out to shortstop in his first at-bat Sunday, is hitting .255/.315/.396 with six home runs through 54 games this season, but is 28-for-83 (.337) over his last 21 contests.
