Yadier Molina
Yadier Molina has a pulled oblique. If you’ve ever pulled an oblique, you know the good news is that it only hurts when you breathe.
You truly can’t quantify what the absence of Yadier would mean to the Cardinals, so of course, I will try.
The Cardinals were 62-48 (.563) when Molina played
Overall, the Cards were 90-72 (.556) meaning they were 28-24 (.538) without him.
