Springfield, MO - The St. Louis Cardinals have announced that Cardinals 2B Kolten Wong is scheduled to join Springfield for a Major League Rehab Assignment at Hammons Field this week.

Wong, 26, is in the midst of a career year with St. Louis, batting .301 with one home run, 15 doubles, 19 RBIs and 23 runs through 47 games this season. In 463 career Major League games since debuting with the Cardinals on 8/16/13, Wong owns a .253 average with 29 homers, 65 doubles, 145 RBIs and 191 runs.
