JUPITER, Fla. (AP) Yadier Molina went 1 for 2 as a designated hitter Friday, the 36-year-old’s first game for the St. Louis Cardinals since left knee surgery in mid-December.
Molina is likely to be behind the plate on Saturday, catching Adam Wainwright against Houston — about a week ahead of the original projection for him to catch.
A nine-time All-Star and nine-time Gold Glove, Molina singled through the left side off Patrick Corbin and scored in a three-run Cardinals’ first. Molina then lined out to first.
