Blaze Jordan Ankle Sprain Likely Ends Rookie Season
The Cardinals third baseman sprained his left ankle making a pivot at third base and is expected to miss several weeks with under a month left in the season.
Jordan injured his left ankle in the eighth inning of Thursday's game against the Orioles while fielding a throw at third base. Tests showed no structural damage, but swelling must subside before a full recovery timeline is established. He is expected to miss several weeks, which with less than a month remaining in the regular season likely ends his 2026 campaign. Jordan had hit .247/.276/.382 with three home runs over 199 plate appearances in his debut season.
