DETROIT • Second baseman Kolten Wong, who was on the 10-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain, is back in the Cardinals’ lineup on Friday night but catcher Yadier Molina, who experienced left hamstring tightness late in Wednesday night’s game at Washington, is sitting out the start. Francisco Pena will catch lefthander Austin Gomber against the Detroit Tigers.
The designated hitter will be available to the Cardinals and Jose Martinez will fill that role with Yairo Munoz playing right field.
