Yadier Molina met with a hand specialist on Monday.
ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina will try to play in the NL Division Series while wearing a splint to protect his injured left thumb.
The All-Star, widely considered the best defensive catcher in the game, met with a hand specialist on Monday.
Molina partially tore ligament on Sept. 20 making a tag at the plate and hasn't played since. St. Louis said the injury was still present, and he will test the splint during workouts the next few days.
