SEATTLE • Not only did it become clear to them through the course of Saturday's game that catcher Yadier Molina could use a break from his duties behind the plate, the Cardinals also could be giving Eric Fryer a start here on the eve of having to send him to Class AAA Memphis.
A decision is due Monday in Kansas City.
Brayan Pena will rejoin the club there as his rehab assignment comes to a conclusion today. Pena has used all of his available 20 days, and the Cardinals must choose whether to add him to the active roster or put him back on the disabled list.
