Impact Molina started the last four games and will receive a well-deserved day off in the series finale versus Arizona. Andrew Knizner will work behind the plate Sunday, forming a battery with Jordan Hicks.

Day off Sunday Molina is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Posts first steal Molina went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Molina stole three bases in 2021, so it's not too surprising to see him still run on the rare occasion at 39 years old. The catcher has received more regular rest this season while managing some soreness early on. He has a .200/.200/.225 slash line with a double, no RBI and two runs scored through 40 plate appearances. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to play more than three games in a row very often.

Dealing with soreness Molina is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers with what Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol termed as "soreness," John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact Molina appears to be dealing with general body fatigue rather than any sort of injury, even though he'll be on the bench for the third game in a row. Marmol already said that Molina will be back behind the plate for Tuesday's game in Miami, catching Opening Day starter Adam Wainwright in that contest. From there, Marmol suggested that Molina and No. 2 backstop Andrew Knizner could split starts at catcher until Molina's soreness subsides.
