Masyn Winn (thumb fracture) placed on IL; Gorman recalled by Cardinals

The Cardinals have placed shortstop Masyn Winn on the IL with a left thumb fracture and recalled Gorman from the minors, per the club's announcement.

Winn had not played since before the Phillies series, and per earlier reporting from Cardinals beat reporter Derrick Goold, the placement is retroactive to August 22 — meaning the 10-day clock was already running before the move became official. The fracture is to his left thumb.

What Gorman's return means

Gorman slides back onto the active roster as the corresponding move, giving St. Louis an infield option while Winn is sidelined. JJ Wetherholt had been handling shortstop duties in Winn's absence, an arrangement that figures to continue.

What remains unconfirmed

No timetable for Winn's return has been reported. The retroactive date limits how long the IL stint extends, but whether he returns at the earliest eligible point is not yet known.
