JJ Wetherholt

STL Shortstop #26

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

JJ Wetherholt is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Brewers.

Wetherholt takes a seat after playing both games during Tuesday’s doubleheader at Busch Stadium. It’ll be José Fermín at second base with Masyn Winn moving up to the leadoff spot in his place. The 23-year-old rookie sensation is one of the most prominent omissions from next week’s All-Star Game. He’s put together an excellent first half, hitting .263/.358/.405 with 56 runs scored, 13 homers, 36 RBI and nine steals in 391 plate appearances through 86 games.
Masyn Winn

STL Shortstop #0

Masyn Winn (thumb) has been added to the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Diamondbacks.

Winn is clearly feeling better and appears to have managed to talk his way into the lineup following a one-game absence due to left thumb soreness. His return pushes rookie standout JJ Wetherholt back to the keystone with Bryan Torres retreating to the bench.
Masyn Winn

STL Shortstop #0

Masyn Winn (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s contest against the Diamondbacks.

There’s been no indication that Winn is a lock for the injured list after being scratched from Tuesday’s lineup with left thumb soreness. He’s presumably day-to-day heading into Thursday’s series finale at Busch Stadium. It’ll be rookie sensation JJ Wetherholt making his second straight start at shortstop in his absence.
Masyn Winn

STL Shortstop #0

Masyn Winn was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Diamondbacks with left thumb soreness.

It doesn’t sound like a significant concern since Winn was in the club’s initial lineup. The 24-year-old shortstop has been seeing the ball well recently, hitting .393 (11-for-28) with one homer and five RBI over his last seven games. It’ll be JJ Wetherholt taking over at shortstop in his absence.
Masyn Winn

STL Shortstop #0

Masyn Winn went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI as the Cardinals defeated the Royals 12-10 on Sunday afternoon.

Winn’s homer was a three-run shot in the top of the first that gave St. Louis a 5-0 lead. The slick-fielding shortstop still hasn’t made an impact with the bat in the majors, as his wRC+ is below league average for the second straight campaign. Winn’s glove keeps him in the everyday lineup, but he hasn’t contributed much to the Cardinals’ surprisingly strong offensive start.
Masyn Winn

STL Shortstop #0

Masyn Winn is not in the Cardinals’ starting lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Twins in Minneapolis.

It’s the second straight Sunday that the 24-year-old infielder has gotten a breather after starting every other game during the week. JJ Wetherholt will slide over and cover shortstop while Bryan Torres draws a start at second base and will bat seventh against Twins’ right-hander Taj Bradley.
Masyn Winn

STL Shortstop #0

Masyn Winn is absent from the Cardinals’ starting lineup for Sunday’s divisional showdown against the Reds.

Winn gets a much-needed breather after playing every inning in each of the team’s last 15 ballgames. He has seen his offensive performance fall off substantially once again this season, slashing just .236/.318/.322 with only two homers, 24 RBI and five stolen bases through his first 239 plate appearances. Jose Fermin will start in his place at shortstop and bat seventh for the Cardinals on Sunday against Reds’ right-hander Rhett Lowder.
JJ Wetherholt

STL Shortstop #26

JJ Wetherholt (groin) remains out of the lineup for the third consecutive game on Saturday against the Reds.

Wetherholt underwent imaging Friday that came back clean after he missed two games with groin soreness, which qualifies as a positive development for the Cardinals and fantasy managers. The 23-year-old rookie appears likely to return in the near future, possibly as soon as Sunday’s series finale at Busch Stadium. Fellow rookie Bryan Torres draws another start at the keystone with Masyn Winn moving up to the leadoff spot.
JJ Wetherholt

STL Shortstop #26

JJ Wetherholt is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Rangers.

Wetherholt will get a break from having to face Rangers lefty MacKenzie Gore. It’s his first day off since May 16. The 23-year-old top prospect has put together an outstanding rookie campaign, slashing .249/.357/.400 with 40 runs scored, nine homers, 25 RBI and seven steals through 58 games. Thomas Saggese takes over at second base with Masyn Winn moving up to the leadoff spot.
Masyn Winn

STL Shortstop #0

Masyn Winn (knee) is back in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Pirates.

Winn is back at shortstop and hitting sixth following a one-game absence due to left knee discomfort. The positive news is that an MRI didn’t turn up any structural damage and he’s feeling well enough to get back in the lineup after a brief hiatus.

Matt Chapman (abdomen) began swinging a bat on Friday for the first time since landing on the injured list on July 1 with an abdominal strain.

Giants’ manager Tony Vitello told reporters on Friday that Chapman won’t be ready to return at any point during the team’s current road trip, but could be ready at the start of their next homestand which begins on July 24. Casey Schmitt will continue to man the hot corner in Chapman’s absence.

Max Fried (elbow) threw 52 pitches over three innings in his first minor league rehab start at Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

The 32-year-old southpaw allowed two runs on five hits over his three frames while striking out three batters. He threw 32 of his 52 pitches for strikes in the contest and did not walk a batter. He’s likely to require at least one additional rehab start, but if all goes well his next time out he could then be cleared to return to the Yankees’ rotation.

Diamondbacks’ manager Torey Lovullo told reporters on Friday that surgery is not currently being considered for injured right-hander Zac Gallen.

Gallen will get a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday to map out a timeline for his return to the mound. Things could obviously change in the coming weeks, but it sounds like the Diamondbacks are holding out hope that Gallen can avoid surgery and return to action at some point before the end of the 2026 season.

Javier Báez (ankle) has started taking live batting practice and is scheduled to complete a return to play baserunning session on Saturday.

It sounds like the 33-year-old defensive wizard is finally making progress in his recovery from a high-grade ankle sprain that has had him sidelined since the end of April. For the first time it sounds like there’s optimism that he could join the Tigers at some point during the second half of the season.

Cardinals acquired RHP Trey Pooser from the Rays for RHP Chris Raycroft.

Pooser becomes the player to be named later in last month’s deal that sent Raycroft to the Rays. The 24-year-old hurler was a 10th round selection by the Rays from the 2024 draft class. He has made 16 appearances (three starts) between Single-A Charleston and High-A Bowling Green this season, posting a 3.44 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 43/12 K/BB ratio across 49 2/3 innings.

The scorching hot infielder will take a seat to start the second half of the season with left-hander Gage Jump toeing the slab for the Athletics. Andres Chaparro will start in his place at first base and will bat third for the Nationals on Friday evening in West Sacramento.

Giants designated C Eric Haase for assignment.

It’s not the first time the 33-year-old has been through the DFA cycle. Haase hit just .162/.235/.365 with four homers and nine RBI in 84 plate appearances with the Giants. He’ll likely pass through waivers unclaimed and then get to make the decision on whether to remain with the Giants at Triple-A Sacramento or attempt to latch on elsewhere.
