Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Playing through knee injury
Rotowire
Winn revealed after Tuesday's loss to the Rockies that he received an injection for a nagging knee injury prior to the All-Star break, Fanduel Sports Network Midwest reports.
Winn said of the injection that "I don't really think it did anything" and that his knee is "jacked up right now." However, Winn is receiving daily treatment and plans to continue playing through the issue. It's not clear when exactly Winn's knee began bothering him, but he's 10-for-21 in the first five games of the second half, so it doesn't seem to be greatly hindering him at the plate.

Rotowire
Winn went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a double in Wednesday's 8-2 loss to Washington.
Winn collected at least three hits for the fifth time this season. The 23-year-old shortstop continues to bat second in St. Louis' lineup on a regular basis, which helps offer him plenty of fantasy upside at a premium position despite a fairly pedestrian campaign at the plate so far. Through 81 outings, Winn is hitting .260 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 53 runs scored and four stolen bases covering 308 at-bats.

Rotowire
Winn went 5-for-8 with a home run, two walks, three RBI and three runs scored as the Cardinals split Wednesday's doubleheader with the Phillies.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Ankle sprain considered mild
Rotowire
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that the left ankle sprain that forced Winn from the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets is "mild" in nature, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Winn initially remained in the game after getting injured during the third inning, but he was replaced in the field prior to the fifth inning after the ankle swelled up. Winn looks poised to avoid a stint on the 10-day injured list, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he gets a day or two of rest.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Cardinals placed Winn on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to lower-back spasms, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Winn believed he wouldn't need to spend time on the IL after exiting Friday's game early because of his back, but evidently, the Cardinals' front office disagreed. If his injury truly is minor, he should have a good chance to be activated when eligible April 22. Until then, Thomas Saggese will start regularly at shortstop. Winn's move to the injured list opens a roster spot for Nolan Gorman (hamstring), who was activated from the IL in a corresponding move.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Expects to miss some games
Rotowire
Winn left Friday's game against the Phillies due to back spasms and said afterward that he will likely sit out a couple of games, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Winn was insistent that he won't need to spend time on the injured list, but he will need a few days off to give his back time to recover from an issue that has been bothering him for a few weeks. Whether the Cardinals' front office cooperates with the 23-year-old's request to stay off the IL remains to be seen, but either way, it seems like Thomas Saggese will be picking up a few more starts at shortstop.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Harder contact after swing tweak
Rotowire
Winn went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Monday's loss to the Angels but had a game-high three hard-hit balls.
During a rain delay in Sunday's game against the Twins, Winn compared video from 2024 to 2025 and worked on his swing with hitting coaches Brant Brown and Brandon Allen, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. They noticed in the 2025 video that his hips were leaning back before his swing, which led to lazy flyballs. Winn stood more upright during batting practice Monday and worked on driving through the ball. While he wasn't rewarded during Monday's game, Winn was heartened by the hard contact he made and is confident "everything is going to click" for him soon. The 23-year-old is 0-for-14 with seven strikeouts in his first four contests this season.

Rotowire
