ST. LOUIS — The Cardinals have a second all-star. Yadier Molina was selected to replace Giants catcher Buster Posey on the NL All-Star Team Monday.

On Sunday, Giants catcher Buster Posey was one of three catchers named to the NL All-Star Team but on Monday, the star catcher said he would miss the mid-summer classic due to a hip injury.

Molina, who leads all NL catchers in home runs, was picked to replace Posey. It will be Molina's ninth All-Star selection.
