The Cards announced the following transaction late this afternoon:
4/27/21: Placed C Yadier Molina on the 10-day IL (right foot tendon strain). Recalled C Ali Sanchez from the ATS.
In the Cards’ game against the Reds on April 23rd, Molina swung at a pitch from reliever Heath Hembree in the bottom of the 5th inning, and it looked like he rolled his left ankle in the process and came up limping. He clearly wasn’t the same in the rest of the plate appearance and came up hobbling when he struck out. It was later revealed that it was his right foot that was sore, and that he actually injured it when he ran the bases for a double in the third inning.
