Molina clears exams, back at catcher for Game 1, but Cardinals make flurry of other roster moves

MILWAUKEE — The need for fresh pitching and an injury to an infielder prompted a flurry of roster moves for the Cardinals.

The only move with Yadier Molina, however, was down in the lineup.

Molina went through a series of exams on his left hand and wrist, and manager Mike Shildt said that none of them revealed a fracture. Molina had his hand whacked by Ryan Braun's bat during a seminal moment in Tuesday night's Brewers romp. Molina remained in the game to catch two more innings before leaving and having X-rays taking of the left hand and wrist at the ballpark.
