Cardinals Star's Injury Return Lasts Just 1 Day
The St. Louis Cardinals scratched shortstop Masyn Winn just one day after his return from a brief stay on the injured list.
St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn returned to the lineup just one day after being placed on the injured list due to a left thumb injury. Winn fractured his thumb on August 21 while sliding into second base, causing him to go on the injured list. He made his return to the team's lineup on Tuesday, but went 0-for-4. Winn has faced injury struggles over the past two seasons, missing time due to lower back spasms and a torn meniscus in 2025.
This season, he has played 123 games, hitting five home runs and driving in 51 runs with a .635 OPS. However, Winn is not expected to play in the upcoming games as the Cardinals prioritize his recovery over having him for the rest of the season. Thomas Saggese, who has been hitting well since returning from the minor leagues, will take over Winn's position in the lineup.
