St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina took a seat twice during their six-day road trip. Get used to seeing him taking a break more often as the season moves deeper into hot August and closer to the postseason.

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said the plan is to rest Molina in day games following night games, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

“There are push times and there are times when we keep in contact with him about how he feels," Matheny said.
