Masyn Winn (thumb fracture) placed on IL; Gorman recalled by Cardinals
St. Louis placed SS Masyn Winn on the IL with a left thumb fracture and recalled Gorman in the corresponding move; no return timetable has been reported.
The Cardinals have placed shortstop Masyn Winn on the IL with a left thumb fracture and recalled Gorman in the corresponding roster move, per the club's announcement.
Winn had not appeared in the lineup since August 21. Per beat reporter Derrick Goold, Winn himself addressed the absence before the club made the placement official. An MRI preceded the move, which the Cardinals have now formalized, with the IL date backdated to the start of the Phillies series.
What the move means at short
With Winn sidelined, JJ Wetherholt is expected to take over at shortstop, per earlier reporting. Gorman's recall adds a bat to the active roster, though his specific role going forward has not been detailed in the available material.
What remains unconfirmed
No timetable for Winn's return has been reported. The nature of a thumb fracture means the club's next update will carry more weight than the initial placement.
The Cardinals are also navigating the absence of Brendan Donovan, who was placed on the concussion IL after a batting cage incident — so the infield picture in St. Louis is carrying more than one open question at the moment.
