Kim Gwang-hyun (32)'s team, Major Leaguer St. Louis Cardinals' main catcher, Yadieer Molina (38), was confirmed by coronavirus infection-19 (Corona 19).

Molina says she is one of the 13 members of St. Louis who have been confirmed corona19 through her social network service account.

"I followed the preventive action recommended by the major league secretariat, but I am sad to receive a corona 19 confirmation," he said. "I will do my best to return quickly for the club, colleagues, and fans."

Molina, who joined St. Louis in 2000, was selected as the 9th All-Star and the Golden Glove is the 9th most active catcher.

He was also thrilled to win the World Series in 2006 and 2011.

Molina's contract with St. Louis ends at the end of the season, and she has revealed her willingness to extend her service early.

However, when I met Corona 19 Reef, I had a difficult time.

Molina's absence will also have a significant impact on Kim Kwang-hyun.

After joining St. Louis, Kim Gwang-hyun, who had matched Molina in a demonstration game and the first game of the regular season, is expected to achieve another catcher and battery for the time being.

Fortunately, Kim Kwang-hyun was negative in Corona 19.

He hadn't been in the mound for over 10 days since the save situation wasn't created since his appearance against the Pittsburgh Pirates on the 25th of last month, and he had no close contact with Molina.

Meanwhile, the St. Louis team asked the parties' doctors to release a list of six players who were judged to be corona19 positive.

St. Louis announced, "With infielder Paul Deyong, right-hander Jr. Fernandez, right-hander Cody Whitley and infielder Langer Ravel, Edman has been confirmed by Sosa."

In St. Louis, 7 players and 6 employees recently tested positive for Corona19.

The club said, "The rest of the players are private because they don't want them."
