St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (foot) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a tendon strain in his right foot, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. After missing Saturday and Sunday's game due to the injury, Molina returned to the lineup on Monday and went 0-for-3 in the loss to the Phillies. It appears that he may have rushed back too soon though, as he'll now be out for at least 10 days. Andrew Knizner will take over primary catching duties for St. ...

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (foot) could return to the starting lineup as soon as Monday, according to manager Mike Schildt. Molina last played on Friday before missing a pair of games due to a foot injury. There was some temporary concern that it could be a more serious injury, but Schildt said there was only "good news" about Molina, so it seems like it all ended up being a minor deal. Andrew Knizner has been starting in Molina's place but won't be a threat to his playing time ...

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (foot) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Reds, according to Ben Frederickson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Molina had exited in the top of the sixth inning on Friday night with what was described as right foot soreness, and he was replaced behind the plate by Andrew Knizner. Manager Mike Shildt said that more imaging was coming for Molina, but the initial feedback was favorable and he could be used as an emergency backup Saturday ...

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals. This will be just his second day off of the year so far. Andrew Knizner is getting the start at catcher and batting eighth in the game. Molina has continued to defy aging logic this year. The 38-year-old is slashing .328/.375/.603 with four home runs, four doubles, 12 RBI and 12 runs over 16 games. The Cardinals are off on Thursday, but you can expect...

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina stayed hot in Tuesday's loss to the Washington Nationals, reaching base three times. Molina went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. The 38-year-old catcher has settled into the cleanup spot in the Cardinals order, and is hitting .328/.375/.603 with four home runs, 12 runs scored, and 12 RBI. He's easily on pace for his best offensive season in a long time.

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina made history on Wednesday by becoming the first player ever to catch 2,000 games for the same team. Cardinals manager Mike Shildt gave Molina the day off yesterday, meaning "Yadi" was able to set the record after catching the first pitch from Adam Wainwright. Molina began his big league career in 2004 after being drafted by the Cardinals in the fourth round of the 2000 draft. The likely future Hall of Famer is off to a good start this year, batting ...

St. Louis Cardinals veteran catcher Yadier Molina hit his first home run of the season in a 7-0 win over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. The 38-year-old's two-run blast jumpstarted the offense. First baseman Paul Goldschmidt had an RBI single in the eighth inning, and outfielder Dylan Carlson hit a grand slam in the ninth. In six games, Molina is second on the team in RBI (seven), average (.316) and on-base percentage (.364), and he's third with an .890 OPS. He was playing in his 2,031st ...

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina drove in a pair of runs with a first inning double in Monday's win over the Miami Marlins. Molina ended up going 1-for-4 with two RBI, giving him a .231 batting average and a .593 OPS in the early going. Molina's double was a blast to dead center field that would have easily been a home run with last season's juiced baseball. He'll continue to hit in the lower middle part of the Cardinals batting order and should be a decent if unexciting source of ...

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina drove in a run on Sunday, going 1-for-4 with a single in an 11-3 Grapefruit League loss to the Washington Nationals. Molina is hitting .267 this spring with a .684 OPS. The veteran catcher isn't an exciting fantasy asset by any means, but at a position with a severe lack of offensive depth, Molina's consistency is definitely valuable to some extent. He's a viable starting catcher in deep leagues and NL-only formats. He's not the guy that will win your ...

The St. Louis Cardinals agreed on a one-year, $9 million deal to re-sign catcher Yadier Molina on Monday. Molina returns to the team he's been with for the last 17 years, and St. Louis also brought back pitching legend Adam Wainwright this offseason on a one-year contract. The 38-year-old Molina is a nine-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner and slashed .262/.303/.359 in 42 games in the shortened 2020 campaign. He's appeared in more games (2,025) than any Cardinals catcher and has played the ...
