Remains out Tuesday Molina (knee) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Cleveland, Bally Sports Midwest reports.
Impact Molina was available off the bench Sunday, so the same is likely true Tuesday after receiving a couple days of rest. Andrew Knizner catches once again while Molina recovers from the bruised left knee. Manager Mike Shildt said Molina is only available in the case of emergency again Tuesday, though he expressed optimism that the backstop could return Wednesday, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat.

Impact Andrew Knizner gets the nod behind the dish in Sunday's series finale, but Shildt noted that Molina is available "in any emergency if we need it" while the backstop contends with a bruised left knee. Ideally, the Cardinals would prefer to stay away from Molina on Sunday, with the hope that a day out of the lineup coupled with Monday's team off day is enough to resolve the knee issue. After the off day, the Cardinals will return to action Tuesday for a two-game set against Cleveland.

Considered day-to-day Molina is considered day-to-day after leaving Saturday's game against Cincinnati with a bruised left knee, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Impact Molina initially remained in the game after taking a foul ball off his knee while catching, but he was eventually replaced by a pinch hitter. The Cardinals will continue to evaluate him, but it looks as though he stands a good chance of avoiding a trip to the injured list. The team has an off day Monday, so Molina could get two days off in a row if he sits in favor of Andrew Knizner in Sunday's series finale.
