Yadier Molina Sprints; Shelby Miller Healing Nicely

Shelby Miller is still recovering nicely from the line drive that hit off his pitching elbow on Tuesday, enough so that Mike Matheny believes his rookie starter could pitch sometime during the Pirates series this week.

“(Miller) seems to have no reservations at all, and the medical staff seems to be in the same mindset,” Matheny said. “Physically, I think he could (start against the Pirates). Whether or not we’ll go that route, we haven’t gone there yet.”

As for Yadier Molina, the Cardinals All-Star catcher sprinted on the field hours before game time today, and also did some catching drills.

Matheny and the training staff will assess how Molina feels tomorrow.
