Molina on bereavement list

The St. Louis Cardinals placed star catcher Yadier Molina on the bereavement list Monday. Molina’s son injured his arm playing baseball in Puerto Rico and will have surgery this morning. Molina, 39, is batting .239 with 2 home runs and 8 RBI in 26 games in what likely will be his final big league season. Rookie catcher Ivan Herrera was recalled from Class AAA Memphis. Herrera, 21, one of the organization’s top prospects, is looking for his big league debut. The Cardinals also announced that right-hander Alex Reyes is going to have shoulder surgery later this month. He was made a full-time reliever last year, and he posted a 2.48 ERA in 72 1/3 innings. Reyes converted his first 22 save opportunities in 2021 before eventually losing his closer job to Giovanny Gallegos.
