The St. Louis Cardinals activated star catcher Yadier Molina from the 10-day injured list ahead of Saturday s home game against the Colorado Rockies.
Molina missed the past 11 games with a strained tendon in his right foot.
The nine-time All-Star originally injured the foot on April 23 against the Cincinnati Reds. He returned three days later against the Philadelphia Phillies and was hitless in three at-bats and apparently aggravated the injury.
Molina, 38, was off to strong start by batting .323 with five homers, five doubles and 14 RBIs in 19 games.
Catcher Ali Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move, though he ll remain on the taxi squad.

The Cardinals have activated Yadier Molina from the 10-day injured list, per The Athletic’s Katie Woo. Molina is in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Rockies. Molina last appeared in a game on April 26.
Ali Sanchez has been optioned to Triple-A. Sanchez, 24, made just one start, going 1-for-3 with a double. Most of the playing time has been taken by Andrew Knizner, the presumptive catcher of the future, should Molina ever slow down. The 26-year-old Knizner has slashed .208/.276/.264 through 58 plate appearances.
As for Molina, he’ll continue in his 18th career season. When we saw him last, he was as good as he’s ever been with the stick, slashing .326/.366/.631 with five home runs in 71 plate appearances.
