Cardinals' Winn Avoids Major Injury
20 May
Summary
- Masyn Winn's MRI results are positive, avoiding a major injury.
- Manager Marmol expects Winn to return to the lineup Wednesday.
- Winn, a Gold Glove shortstop, had a previous meniscus injury.
St. Louis Cardinals' starting shortstop, Masyn Winn, has received positive news regarding his left knee and calf. Winn underwent an MRI on Tuesday after tweaking his knee during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals.
Cardinals manager Oli Marmol confirmed that Winn is in a "good spot" and expressed optimism for his return to the lineup as early as Wednesday. Winn, a 24-year-old Gold Glove Award winner, is considered a game-changer for the team. Before his early exit on Sunday, he posted a .255 batting average with one home run and 17 RBIs in 41 games.
This update is significant for the Cardinals, who currently have limited depth at the shortstop position. Winn's absence highlighted this need, with César Prieto filling in during Tuesday's game. Winn's history includes a previous season-ending meniscus injury in his right knee last year, making this assessment of his left knee particularly important.
