Molina, who was involved in a collision on a play at the plate with the Pirates' Josh Harrison during Tuesday nights 9-to-0 loss, was diagnosed with strains to his upper back, left shoulder, and his neck and had missed the game yesterday in which the Pirates won five to zero.
The initial play at the plate that caused the injury to Yadi was one that was very-highly talked about from around the league but in the end to many, was a clean play at the plate--just a hard-nosed effort.
This is very good news for the Cardinals, considering Molina is having a career-season at plate with the bat in his hands--as well as having the best percentage of base-runners thrown out from a catcher, once again. It is starting to become blatantly obvious that their really isn't anybody more important to any ball club than Molina is to the Cardinals.
Making the move a little more interesting is the fact that the Cardinals will be facing former teammate Edwin Jackson tonight--and in Yadi's career against the starting pitcher, he is 7-for-8 (.875) with one home run and a walk as well. Tonight's game will deliver the first pitch at 6:05pm Central Time and will be televised on FOX Sports Midwest; as well as the MLB Network.
