Yadier Molina - C - Cardinals

Yadier Molina hit a two-run homer in the Cardinals' 4-1 defeat of the Cubs on Wednesday in St. Louis.

The two-run shot was Yadi's only hit of the night but it was a big one, breaking a 1-1 tie and putting the Cardinals ahead for good. Molina, the best defensive catcher in baseball, is now batting .365/.406/.514 with five homers and 41 RBI. He might be the early NL MVP.

Jake Westbrook - S - Cardinals

Jake Westbrook held the Cubs to one (unearned) run over seven innings Wednesday in a Cardinals victory.

It was his second start back from the disabled list and he looked sharp, yielding just two hits while inducing 15 groundball outs. Westbrook has hardly been dominant this season, but he's used his craftiness to work out of jams and currently boasts a 1.76 ERA in 51 total innings. He'll be a decent fantasy option next week in Houston.

David Freese - 3B - Cardinals

David Freese is not in the Cardinals' lineup Wednesday.

It's just a day off for Freese, who grounded into three double plays and struck out in his four at-bats Tuesday. Daniel Descalso is getting the start at third base.

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Adam Wainwright was undone by a poor first inning Tuesday, allowing all four of his runs in a loss to the Cubs.

Waino retired the first two batters of the game before giving up four straight hits -- including back-to-back homers -- and four runs. He was pretty much spotless the rest of the way, shutting the Cubbies out for the next six frames, but by then it was too late. Despite the relatively disappointing showing in a juicy matchup, Wainwright still has a 2.37 ERA and 1.01 WHIP for the season. He gets the Rangers at home this weekend.

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran doubled and belted a solo homer in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs.

Beltran just missed a second homer in another at-bat. Just as he did last season, Beltran is having a monster first half, sporting a .310 batting average with 17 homers and 45 RBI.

Shelby Miller - S - Cardinals

Shelby Miller reported feeling fine Tuesday after leaving Monday's start with a right leg cramp.

Miller was just a little dehydrated, so the Cards pulled him early as a precaution when his calf tightened up. He'll be fine for this weekend's start against the Rangers.

Edward Mujica - R - Cardinals

Despite giving up a homer for a second straight outing, Edward Mujica picked up his 20th save in 20 chances Monday in the Cardinals' 5-2 defeat of the Cubs.

Mujica gave up a homer to Marlon Byrd on Thursday and another to Darwin Barney tonight, but he's yet to allow one in a one-run game. All four homers he's given up this year have been solo shots. It helps a lot that he hasn't walked a batter since April 3.

Shelby Miller - S - Cardinals

Shelby Miller left Monday's start against the Cubs after five innings with a right leg cramp.

Miller was examined by trainers after stretching out his calf on the mound with one out in the fifth. He stayed in and retired the next two hitters but was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the frame. The youngster should be fine for his next outing, which will come against the Rangers this weekend. He tossed five scoreless innings on two hits and two walks while striking out five before exiting.

Tyler Lyons - S - Cardinals

Tyler Lyons is expected to start on Friday against the Rangers.

There had been some speculation that Lyons could be replaced by Joe Kelly, Carlos Martinez or someone else, but it appears the lefty will get another shot. He's struggled the last three times out and should be avoided against the Rangers for fantasy purposes.

Chris Carpenter - S - Cardinals

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said that Chris Carpenter felt some back stiffness during a long bullpen session Sunday.

It's not clear if Carpenter will have to scale back his throwing program, but he'll likely need a few more bullpen sessions before the Cardinals think about the possibility of a rehab assignment. While it once looked like the veteran right-hander could return in late June, sometime during the second half appears more realistic at this point.

Fernando Salas - R - Cardinals

Fernando Salas (shoulder) will begin a minor league rehab assignment this week with Triple-A Memphis.

Salas has been sidelined for nearly a month due to right shoulder irritation. The Cardinals will likely want to see how he responds to throwing on back-to-back days before bringing him back from the disabled list.

Tyler Lyons - S - Cardinals

Tyler Lyons was knocked around for six runs on eight hits and three walks over just 5 1/3 frames in Sunday's loss to the Marlins.

Lyons managed to strike out six, but he had little command all day, and the weak-hitting Marlins had little trouble squaring him up. After a couple great starts to begin his big league career, Lyons has now allowed 16 runs over his last three outings. The Cardinals could look to replace him with Michael Wacha or Carlos Martinez soon. As it stands right now, he's slated to take the ball on Friday against the Rangers. Fantasy owners should steer clear.

Matt Holliday - OF - Cardinals

Matt Holliday is not in the Cardinals' lineup Sunday.

It's just a day of rest. Allen Craig is covering left field on Sunday, while Matt Adams is getting the nod at first base.

Yadier Molina - C - Cardinals

Yadier Molina is not in the Cardinals' lineup Sunday.

It's just a day off for the backstop. Tony Cruz is starting in Molina's place against the Marlins.

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran went 3-for-6 with two home runs and the Cardinals beat the Marlins 13-7 on Saturday.

The homers gave Beltran 16 on the season and he also tripled for good measure, scoring three runs on the afternoon. The veteran switch-hitter hit his first homer from the left side before homering from the right side in the ninth inning. He started strong before fading in the second half of last season, but with the Cardinals being more diligent about his days off this year, he should be better equipped to continue hitting well down the stretch in 2013.
