ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Cardinals All-Star catcher Yadier Molina will undergo surgery Friday to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb and could miss the rest of the season. The team estimated Molina could be sidelined eight to 12 weeks. Hes hoping to make it back in seven or eight weeks. "I almost cried," Molina said before Thursday nights game against the Pirates. "Mentally, its so frustrating. You play hard for something to happen like that, its bad." Molina got the news Thursday morning, three days from his 32nd birthday. The Cardinals left Busch Stadium Wednesday night prepared for the worst news and minor league call-up Audry Perez was already on the way. General manager John Mozeliak said hed be on the lookout for a "stopgap" solution. For now, backup Tony Cruz is the starter for the defending National League champions whove had a rash of serious injuries recently. Lefty Jaime Garcia also will undergo season-ending thoracic outlet surgery Friday to relieve nerve pain and numbness and right-hander Michael Wacha is on the 15-day disabled list indefinitely with a stress fracture in his pitching shoulder. Manager Mike Matheny said its important for the players to just keep going. The first step, he said, would be to consider the series finale against the Pirates as a day off for Molina. "Im going to continue to scream at the top of my lungs that this is an opportunity for us to step up, all of us," Matheny said. "The great players, the great teams, take this stuff and figure out a way to get it done." Molina was injured Wednesday when he planted his hand for balance after sliding feet-first into third base in the second inning. He caught another half-inning before Cruz hit for him in the third. The slide was the same as its always been, except for one critical difference. "This time," he said, "my thumb got stuck in the dirt." Molina said it would take five weeks for the thumb to heal after surgery and then hed begin a rehab program. Matheny said the team had to formulate a rehab plan. Perez was recalled from Triple-A Memphis and will be the backup behind Cruz, who totalled 51 at-bats the first 92 games with a .255 average and eight RBIs and also is a strong defender. "Ive got 100 per cent confidence, I have no doubt he can do it," Molina said. "Tonys smart, hes a good player, a good hitter, a good catcher." Molina was voted to his sixth straight NL All-Star team Sunday and is a starter for the fourth time. He was hitting .287 with seven homers and 30 RBIs and led the major leagues by throwing out 47 per cent of attempted base stealers along with three pickoffs. He has been extremely durable, averaging 135 games the past six seasons. He missed two weeks with a sprained knee last season. Now, hell be an adviser and unofficial cheerleader for the defending National League champions. "I will be in the dugout, Ill be with the team," Molina said. "Im part of the team." The 27-year-old Cruz has been a backup the past four years with 12 starts this season. He had 28 starts both in 2013 and 2012. The 25-year-old Perez was batting .288 with two homers and 11 RBIs in 44 games at Memphis and threw out 29 per cent of base stealers. He played in two major league games last season with one at-bat.

CHICAGO -- Dave Bolland got an unlikely assist and the Chicago Blackhawks won in their return to the United Center after a long road trip. Bollands centring attempt in the third hit the stick of St. Louis leading scorer David Backes and went in the net for the go-ahead score Sunday as Chicago rallied with three final-period goals for a 3-1 victory over the Blues. "I saw Kaner (Patrick Kane) just to my left and tried to get it to him and it went off Backes," Bolland said. "Ill take it. Those are the kind of goals we need. We cant wait for pretty ones." Chicago couldnt solve St. Louis goalie Brian Elliott for the first two periods as he was working on his second straight shutout. But Duncan Keith scored a tying goal on a one-timer and then Bolland -- or Backes -- put the Blackhawks ahead. Marian Hossa added an empty-netter with 49 seconds left. The Blackhawks, coming off a nine-game road trip in which they won only two games, captured their third straight victory. The modest streak comes on the heels of a nine-game losing skid. Corey Crawford made 29 saves in Chicagos first home game since Jan. 24 Andy McDonald scored in the first for the Blues and it looked as if Elliott would make it hold up. He entered the game leading the NHL with a 1.55 goals-against average. Bolland took a pass from Keith at the left side of the net and directed the puck toward the goal. It hit Backes stick and went in at 13:03 of the period to make it 2-1, sending the crowd into a frenzy. "Tough luck but we should have had it out of the zone before that," Backes said. "You dont make plays to get it and I put one in the back of our net. ... We let them hang around, hang around. Id like to have that back. Ells played fantastic in nets and he deserves better." Keith earlier took a pass from Patrick Sharp and sent a screaming one-timer from the slot past Elliott, tying the game at 4:52 oof the final period.dddddddddddd "I didnt even see him. There were bodies there and sometimes those just squeak through the crowd," said Elliott, who finished with 24 saves. And on Bollands goal, he had no problem with where Backes was positioned. "Its probably where he should be, just taking away the pass across and just a bad bounce," Elliott added. Shortly after Keiths tying goal in the third, two Blackhawks crashed into Crawford as he was stopping a shot by McDonald and the collision dislodged the net before the puck crossed the line. Another video review followed and the call on the ice of no goal was upheld. During a scrum in front of the Chicago goal with 24 seconds left in the first period, the Blues Jamie Langenbrunner kicked the puck toward the goal and McDonald nudged it in past Crawford, a score upheld by video review. St. Louis has allowed the fewest goals in the league, tied with the Rangers at 114 entering the game. And the Blues made it tough for Chicago to generate any offence, outshooting the Blackhawks 15-4 in that first period. "Theyre always thinking defence. Its not a wide-open game," Keith said. "We stuck with it. We learned a lot in that losing streak and brought those lessons to this game. We were able to play a patient game and win it." McDonald, who missed 51 games this season with a concussion, scored for the third time since his return a week ago. He nearly converted earlier in the first with the Blues short-handed. NOTES: Chicago is 2-1 against the Blues this season and the teams meet three more times. ... St. Louis G Jaroslav Halak, whod been slowed by flu-like symptoms, was scratched from the lineup for a second straight game. .... Blackhawks D Niklas Hjalmarsson missed his sixth straight game with an upper body injury. He skated Sunday and will be re-evaluated for Tuesday nights game against the Red Wings, coach Joel Quenneville said. ' ' '
