Shortstop Paul DeJong, pitcher Junior Fernandez, first baseman Rangel Ravelo, shortstop Edmundo Sosa, and pitcher Kodi Whitley were the other five players to test positive for coronavirus.

"I will do everything within my power to return as soon as possible for Cardinals fans," Molina said in the tweet.
