Andrew Knizner - In line to serve as primary catcherKnizner is in line to serve as the Cardinals' primary catcher in the near future since Yadier Molina (knee) will be placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Katie Woo of The Athle...
ImpactThe 27-year-old started in six of the last nine games since Molina was dealing with persistent knee soreness, and Knizner went 1-for-18 with a walk and four strikeouts during that time. Molina doesn't yet have a timetable to return, and Knizner will likely see most of the at-bats during the veteran's IL stint. However, the Cardinals will call up prospect Ivan Herrera on Friday, and he'll likely compete for playing time in the big leagues if Knizner continues to struggle at the plate.

ImpactHerrera spent a few days with the Cardinals in late May, but he'll rejoin the big-league club as a backup to Andrew Knizner since the team will place Yadier Molina (knee) on the 10-day injured list Friday. After failing to make any plate appearances during his first stint with the major-league club, Herrera should have more chances to prove himself at the top level while Molina is sidelined.
