"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;St. Louis Cardinals catcher&amp;nbsp;Yadier&amp;nbsp;Molina exited Game 3 of the&amp;nbsp;NLDS&amp;nbsp;against the Chicago Cubs when he aggravated his previously injured left thumb.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Molina, who was 0 for 2 in the game, was pinch hit for by Brandon Moss in the top of the sixth inning with the Cubs leading 5\u20134.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 33-year-old originally sustained the thumb injury on Sept. 20 against the&amp;nbsp;Cubs&amp;nbsp;while tagging out&amp;nbsp;Anthony Rizzo,&amp;nbsp;as he attempted to score from third base on a fly out to rightfield.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Following the injury, Molina rested for the remainder of the regular season and the Cardinals went on to clinch the NL Central Division without him.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the Cardinals\u2019 starting catcher since 2005, Molina has been selected to seven consecutive All-Star teams. He batted .270 with four home runs, 61 RBIs and a .660 OPS during the regular season.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Entering Monday\u2019s game in Chicago, the five-game series between the Cubs and Cardinals was tied at one game apiece.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;2015 MLB playoff flowchart: Which team should you be rooting for?&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Kayla Lombardo&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
