Cardinals' Yadier Molina scratched late on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina was a late scratch for Friday afternoon's game against the Chicago Cubs.

What It Means:

Ankle discomfort sent Molina to the bench for Friday. Carson Kelly stepped in behind the plate and is hitting eighth in opposition of Jake Arrieta.

Our algorithms project Molina for 4 home runs, 25 RBI and 27 runs for the remainder of the 2017 season.
