Yadier Molina is not in the Cardinals’ lineup Sunday against Cincinnati after he took a foul ball off of his left knee Saturday, but manager Mike Shildt said the catcher should only need a couple of days of rest to recover.
“I saw him come in and talked to him briefly and he feels better,” Shildt said. “I think he’ll be available in an emergency situation if we need it. It doesn’t look like an IL situation. It looks like a little-bit-of-rest situation. A day off will benefit in that regard.”
The Cardinals are off Monday before a two-game series against Cleveland.
