Molina will sit Thursday against the Rays, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Molina finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row. While he's handled heavy workloads deep into his career, he's no longer among the league leaders in starts behind the plate in his age-39 season, as he sits tied for a modest 17th in that category. Andrew Knizner will be the starting catcher Thursday.
