Yadier Molina (ankle) back in Cardinals' lineup Saturday
St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is back in Saturday's starting lineup against the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
The veteran backstop was a late scratch on Friday as he dealt with discomfort in his right ankle. He is back behind the plate today, hitting fifth against lefty Jon Lester. Carson Kelly will go back to riding the bench this afternoon.
In 43 plate appearances, Molina has 4 extra-base hits and a .333 average against Lester for his career. He's projected for 10.1 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,800 for today's slate.
