LAS VEGAS • Done gallivanting around the globe to do everything from sight-see to represent Major League Baseball in Japan, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina will resume his offseason preparation after he has surgery Thursday to address a sore knee.
Molina will have a cleanup procedure done to repair a nagging irritation in his left knee — something that he described during the season but continued to play through. John Mozeliak, the team’s president of baseball operations, said he was notified of Molina’s surgery in the past week and that he was assured that the procedure would not require less than 10 days to recover.
