Yadier Molina catches first bullpen session of spring

Yadier Molina (C - FA)

Yadier Molina was behind the plate to catch his first bullpen session of the spring on Monday. He's returning from thumb surgery. His status for Opening Day remains unclear. (Derrick Goold on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact
Considering the Cardinals signed Brayan Pena as insurance, it would seem the team is going to take a cautious approach with the veteran Molina. While Molina could be forced to spend time on the DL to open the season, he's not expected to miss much beyond the minimum requirement of 15 days.
