Cardinals place Yadier Molina on bereavement list

The St. Louis Cardinals placed catcher Yadier Molina on the bereavement list Monday.

What It Means:

The Cardinals called up Ivan Herrera from Triple-A Memphis on Monday in a corresponding roster move. Herrera is expected to be the primary backup to Andrew Knizner while Molina is away from the club. Knizner is starting on Monday against right-hander Jose Berrios and the Toronto Blue Jays. Molina will also be ineligible for Tuesday's game against Toronto.

numberFire’s models project Knizner for 6.1 FanDuel points on Monday, and he has a $2,000 salary. Molina is averaging 6.2 FanDuel points per game this season.
