Yadier Molina was placed on the bereavement list Friday after his wife's grandfather died. The Cardinals catcher has returned to his native Puerto Rico to be with his family. Matt Holliday will replace him on the National League All-Star roster. "He deserved to be there and I think that's really the end of the story for me," said St. Louis manager Mike Matheny. "He's an All-Star player having an All-Star-caliber year and it's nice to see he's going. "I'm real happy for Matt, especially when he's made this strong push."
