Masyn Winn is out of the Cardinals starting lineup for a second straight game, with a left thumb injury keeping the shortstop off the field, per Aaron Bracy of MLB.com.
What remains unconfirmed is the severity of the injury, any timetable for his return, and whether the club is weighing a roster move. For now, Winn is simply absent from the lineup — no further detail has been reported.
The bigger picture in St. Louis
The Cardinals are managing more than one health question at the moment. Andre Pallante was placed on the 15-day IL with right elbow inflammation, with the club reporting no structural damage and expecting a minimal stint. JJ Wetherholt was also examined by training staff after being hit by a pitch on the hamstring, though he remained in that game.
A second consecutive lineup scratch for Winn is worth monitoring. Whether it stays a brief absence or prompts a roster adjustment is the next thing to watch.
