• Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Hitting cleanup Opening Day

  Rotowire Mar 26, 2026

  Winn is starting at shortstop and batting cleanup in Thursday's opener versus the Rays. Winn is an atypical cleanup hitter -- this will be just his fourth career start in the slot -- but the rebuilding Cardinals don't have many middle-of-the-order options. It's a boost for Winn's RBI outlook, as he should have chances to drive in runs with JJ Wetherholt, Ivan Herrera and Alec Burleson batting ahead of him.

• Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Plans to run more with healthy knee

  Rotowire Jan 19, 2026

  Winn has been sprinting for weeks and will not have any limitations with his surgically repaired right knee at the beginning of spring training, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Winn played through a slight meniscus tear in his knee for most of the 2025 season before eventually having surgery in late September. While he won his first Gold Glove, Winn's offensive production slipped, as he finished with just a .673 OPS, nine home runs and nine stolen bases. With his knee repaired, Winn plans to be more active on the basepaths in 2026, saying, "I want to be able to use that speed."

• Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Begins jogging after knee surgery

  Rotowire Nov 3, 2025

  Winn has begun jogging and said the pain is gone in his surgically repaired right knee, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Winn -- who won his first National League Gold Glove on Sunday -- is just over a month removed from surgery to repair a torn meniscus and said he can already "really feel the difference" in the knee. The 23-year-old is expected to be ready to go for the start of spring training. Winn slashed a disappointing .253/.310/.363 with nine home runs and nine stolen bases across 537 plate appearances in 2025, though the downturn in his production can likely be blamed in part due to having to play through nagging soreness in his knee for several months.

• Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Out for season

  Rotowire Sep 12, 2025

  The Cardinals will shut Winn (knee) down for the rest of the season, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. After being diagnosed with a meniscus tear in his right knee Wednesday, the initial expectation was that Winn would play through the injury and wait until the offseason to undergo surgery. However, manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that the 23-year-old infielder hasn't been recovering as well as the team had hoped, so the Cardinals will pull the plug on his season and use Thomas Saggese as their primary shortstop going forward. Winn will close the book on the 2025 campaign with a .253/.310/.363 slash line alongside nine homers, 51 RBI, 72 runs scored and nine steals across 537 plate appearances.

• Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Needs offseason knee surgery

  Rotowire Sep 10, 2025

  Winn has been diagnosed with a meniscus tear in his right knee that will require arthroscopic surgery over the offseason, but he plans to continue playing through the issue, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. Winn has dealt with nagging soreness in the knee for much of the season and it has caused him to miss games here and there, including Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners. However, the shortstop has been told it's unlikely he'll do additional damage if he plays through the injury, so his availability will continue to be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. The impending surgery isn't expected to affect his offseason routine or his readiness for spring training. Winn is slashing .253/.310/.363 with nine home runs and nine stolen bases in 2025, and he leads all of baseball with 22 Outs Above Average, per Statcast.

• Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Set for MRI

  Rotowire Aug 25, 2025

  Winn will undergo an MRI on his injured left knee Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Winn has been playing through soreness in the knee since around the All-Star break and was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Rays due to renewed discomfort. He underwent an MRI in July which "showed a little something," per Winn, and he'll have imaging on the knee again Monday. The shortstop hopes to return to the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates, but more will be known regarding Winn's condition after the MRI results are in. If Winn has to miss additional time, Thomas Saggese would likely handle the bulk of the reps at shortstop for the Cardinals.
