Goes on bereavement leave The Cardinals placed Molina (personal) on the bereavement list Monday.

Impact St. Louis called up Ivan Herrera from Triple-A Memphis to give the team another option behind the dish, but Andrew Knizner is expected to take over as the No. 1 catcher while the 10-time All-Star is away from the Cardinals. Per MLB rules, Molina won't be eligible to be activated for at least three days after landing on the bereavement list, so he'll miss the Cardinals' two-game series with the Blue Jays at minimum.

Takes seat Sunday Molina is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Drives in two runs Molina went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI in Friday's 5-3 win over the Pirates.

Impact Molina contributed a two-run single during the Cardinals' four-run rally in the sixth inning. The catcher has multiple hits in three of his last six games. He's up to a .250/.250/.352 slash line with two home runs, eight RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base through 88 plate appearances this year. It's a little concerning he has yet to draw a walk after posting at least a five percent walk rate in four of the last five years -- he's never had an on-base percentage lower than .274 in a full season.
