“Everything was feeling good,” said Molina. “Getting better each day.”
It was the first time the St. Louis Cardinals catcher had caught a ball since he had a second surgery to repair the thumb ligament which was originally injured in September while tagging Anthony Rizzo of the Chicago Cubs.
“I don’t know, just keep getting better and better,” answered Molina as to what’s next in terms of his rehab process.
In the meantime, as he continues to rehab, Yadi has been very visible during the Spring Training workouts–almost serving as an additional coach for his teammates.
“Coaching?” chuckled Molina. “I’m just watching–that’s all I can do.”
“I’m here to try and help anybody who asks,” he continued. “And try to get better with my thumb and my hand. Anything I can help with my teammates, I’m there for them.”
