CHICAGO • Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina will start Tuesday's elimination game against the Cubs in Game 4 of the National League division series.
The All-Star is back in the lineup after he was swapped for a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning of Monday night's Game 3 loss.
Randal Grichuk gets the start in center. Jason Heyward is in right field.
Last night, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was asked about Molina's status moving forward. The catcher is playing with an injured left thumb, and has been wearing a customized splint while catching along with another device for hitting.
