If you haven’t noticed, the St. Louis Cardinals have been playing without their anchor behind the plate. After trying to play through a thumb injury he likely sustained at some point last week, the Cardinals placed Molina on the 10-day injured list on Saturday.
An MRI on Friday revealed that Molina had strained a tendon in his hand and the scary part is that there is currently “no timetable for return” per manager Mike Shildt. As scary as that sounds, Yadi has had a knack for returning way earlier than most mere mortals would from injuries.
