St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is expected to miss at least four weeks after undergoing pelvic surgery after taking a foul ball to the groin Saturday.
Molina, 35, went down in the eighth inning of Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs after being hit by a foul ball from Kris Bryant. The injury to his groin required emergency surgery.
"That was a bad one," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny told reporters. "Those don't necessarily feel better tomorrow."
In his 15th season with the Cardinals, Molina has been largely healthy for the last three seasons.
