Yadier Molina Starting Rehab Assignment Thursday
2 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (knee) will begin his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Thursday. He will bat third and serve as the designated hitter. Molina is expected to play for Memphis on Thursday and Friday (likely as the catcher), and then he could return from the injured list to rejoin the Cardinals next Tuesday. The 40-year-old hasn't played since June 15 in what is expected to be his final big-league season in a storied career. Molina is just a shell of his former self offensively, as he's hit just .213/.225/.294 with two home runs, 10 RBI, 10 runs scored and one stolen base in 136 at-bats in 2022. When he returns, he will continue to split time with Andrew Knizner.
