ST. LOUIS -- ESPN is reporting this morning that catcher Yadier Molina underwent surgery Saturday night after he was hit in the groin by a foul tip and is expected to miss a month, according to president of baseball operations John Mozeliak.
We have not received any official confirmation from the team.
Molina left Saturday's game against the Cubs in the eighth inning after he was hit in the groin when Kris Bryant a tipped 102-mph pitch from reliever Jordan Hicks. "That was a bad one," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Those don't necessarily feel better tomorrow."
Molina remained on the field for several minutes, huddled with training staff, before exiting.
