St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina's ailing thumb has landed him on the injured list.
The team announced Friday that Molina was placed on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 29) with a strained tendon in his right thumb.
Taking Molina's spot on the 25-man roster will be Andrew Knizner. The 24-year-old is hitting .286/.355/.450 in 37 games at Triple-A Memphis.
Molina originally injured his thumb on May 25 against the Atlanta Braves. He played the Cardinals' next two games but has been on the bench since Wednesday.
