The Cardinals have circled March 14 -- exactly two weeks before the club’s regular-season opener -- as their target date to have Yadier Molina catch his first Grapefruit League game of the season, manager Mike Shildt announced Monday. The club has intentionally slowed Molina’s schedule this spring in order to allow him additional time to recover from offseason knee surgery. Molina will be used as a designated hitter in spring games likely about a week before getting behind the plate.
