Molina will be placed on the 10-day injured list Friday due to persistent knee soreness, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Molina has apparently dealt with his sore knee over the first few months of the season, and he received multiple cortisone shots last weekend in an attempt to alleviate the issue. The 39-year-old attempted to continue playing through the issue over the last few days but will ultimately be sidelined for at least a week and a half. Molina doesn't yet have a timetable to return, but the Cardinals are expected to call up Ivan Herrera on Friday.

Molina will start at catcher and bat eighth in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Pirates, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Molina has been on the bench for five of the Cardinals' past six games, presumably as a result of the unspecified soreness manager Oliver Marmol said the catcher has been experiencing of late. The 39-year-old is expected to continue to receive more maintenance in 2022 compared to previous seasons, but he still appears to be locked in as the No. 1 backstop ahead of Andrew Knizner, who will likely be behind the plate for the nightcap Tuesday.

Andrew Knizner will be the starting catcher Thursday.
