Winn

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.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol added that Winn is day-to-day with left knee discomfort after imaging came back clean. It sounds like there’s optimism he’ll be ready to return to the lineup at some point this week.

Winn will undergo imaging to determine whether he’s dealing with any structural damage since he’s still dealing with some left knee discomfort that popped up over the weekend. There’s obviously some concern that he’ll require a trip to the injured list. There should be an update on his status in the coming days.

Winn remains out of the lineup after making an early exit from Sunday’s game against the Royals with left knee discomfort. The 24-year-old hasn’t been sent to the injured list, which is an encouraging development. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be César Prieto handling shortstop in his absence.

Winn argued for staying in Sunday’s game, but he was lifted. If he can’t go on Tuesday, then Thomas Saggese or Cesar Prieto could start at short.

Winn delivered a two-out, two-run single off of George Kirby in the fourth inning that pulled the Cardinals even at 2-2. That would wind up being the extent of their offense in the game. Winn also led off the seventh inning with a single but never advanced past first base. With his two-hit effort, the 24-year-old shortstop is now hitting .270/.360/.405 with one homer, 11 RBI and three stolen bases through his first 86 plate appearances on the season.

Winn’s double was a grounder down the third base line that Brice Matthews had no chance to play with the infield in. It gave Winn both his first three-hit and three-RBI games of the year. He’s hit in six straight games, raising his average from .154 to .222.

Winn’s exit velocity numbers haven’t been very good so far, but he hit a ball 373 feet off Lance McCullers Jr. tonight, and he’s now at.190/.319/.293 in 69 plate appearances overall. There was the hope of some mixed league value here when the Cardinals spent most of the spring letting him leadoff, but with JJ Wetherholt overtaking him there and Winn batting sixth for the most part, there’s nothing cooking right now.

Winn returns to shortstop and will bat sixth following a two-game absence over the weekend after being hit by a pitch just below his right knee during Friday’s game against the Red Sox. The 24-year-old has been snake-bitten by minor injuries during the early portion of the year, but hasn’t missed too much time.

Winn was removed from Friday’s game after being hit by a pitch just below his right knee. He sat out Saturday’s game as a precautionary measure and it sounds like he needs at least another day before he’ll be ready to return to action. The encouraging news for fantasy managers is that it doesn’t sound like he’ll require a trip to the injured list. Thomas Saggese will take his place at shortstop once again on Sunday and will bat eighth against Brayan Bello and the Red Sox.
