Yadier Molina (rest) not in Cardinals' lineup Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is out of the lineup on Wednesday as he gets the night off to rest.

What It Means:

Tony Cruz will get the start at catcher and bat eighth against right-hander Max Scherzer and the Nationals.

Don't expect much from Cruz's bat tonight. Scherzer has a 2.48 xFIP against right handed hitters this year, and Cruz is only hitting .167 with a .178 wOBA against righties on the season.
