St. Louis Cardinals C Yadier Molina (thumb) was scratched from the Game 4 lineup Tuesday, Oct. 13, with C Tony Cruz hitting eighth.

Fantasy Tip: Cruz ($3,300, 6.6% of cap) is not a potent enough weapon to use on FantasyScore against Jason Hammel.

St. Louis Cardinals C Tony Cruz will become the team's everyday catcher with C Yadier Molina (thumb) sidelined for at least a week. Cruz was hitting .173 with a home run and seven RBI in only 104 at-bats.

Fantasy Tip: It's a huge dropoff both offensively and defensively from Molina to Cruz ($1,600, 3.2% of cap) for the Cardinals. Stash Molina in all fantasy formats in hopes he can return for the final week, although he may be limited regardless. Cruz isn't a viable option unless you're in an NL-only league, and he's a low-end FantasyScore play to close out the year.

St. Louis Cardinals C Yadier Molina is out of the lineup Friday, Sept. 18, with C Tony Cruz hitting seventh.

Fantasy Tip: Molina struck out six times in two games a couple days ago and clearly needed a couple of days as a breather. Cruz ($1,600, 3.2% of cap) isn't skilled enough offensively to use on FantasyScore against Dan Haren at this juncture.

St. Louis Cardinals C Yadier Molina is not in the starting lineup Thursday, Sept. 17. C Tony Cruz is behind the plate and is batting seventh against Milwaukee Brewers SP Jimmy Nelson.

Fantasy Tip: Cruz ($1,600, 3.2% of cap) is hitting just .188 (18-for-96) with one homer and six RBI in 2015 and is not a good pick for daily gamers.
