Yadier Molina is a late addition to Cardinals' lineup
St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (knee) has been added to the lineup on Sunday night.
What It Means:
Molina has sat out the last two games after taking a foul tip off his knee on Thursday. Eric Fryer was originally scheduled to catch on Sunday but will head to the bench as Molina bats fifth against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Cardinals have a low implied run total on Sunday, 4.64 as they face a groundball-heavy pitcher in Chad Kuhl (.836 groundball/flyball ratio), making Molina a risky play.
