Molina out of starting lineup but could play

JUPITER, Fla. • Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina will be out of the Cardinals lineup for a second straight game Tuesday because of a right foot contusion suffered in a weightlifting mishap the other day. Non-roster catcher Eric Fryer will start, as he did on Monday when he caught all nine innings although manager Mike Matheny said Molina was available to play Tuesday.

Righthander Adam Wainwright will make his last start of the spring when he faces the Washington Nationals for the second time in five days. Wainwright will pitch the season opener in Pittsburgh on Sunday.
