Overview

  • St. Louis confirmed a slight tear in Winn’s right meniscus and will let him play the rest of the regular season as he can tolerate it.
  • Winn was scratched Tuesday with knee soreness, and Thomas Saggese filled in at shortstop as the team manages his availability day to day.
  • Team physicians expect a normal offseason after the procedure with readiness for 2026 if there are no setbacks.
  • Winn says he wants to keep playing, and local reporting indicates he may have been dealing with the tear for months.
  • Despite an offensive dip, he leads MLB with 22 Outs Above Average on defense, while Brendan Donovan and Nolan Arenado near returns and the Cardinals remain about 4.5 games back in the NL Wild Card race.
