Overview
- Manager Oliver Marmol announced the decision Friday in Milwaukee after Winn was scratched, and the team placed him on the 10-day injured list.
- Infielder José Fermín was recalled from Triple-A, and Thomas Saggese is set to handle shortstop duties for the remainder of the season.
- Winn will seek a second opinion and is likely to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery in the coming weeks, with team expectations that he will be ready for spring training.
- The 23-year-old played through the tear for weeks and finishes at .253 with nine homers and 51 RBIs in 129 games, pairing that with elite defense including 22 Outs Above Average and a .994 fielding percentage.
- With roughly two weeks left and the Cardinals about four games out of a wild-card spot, the club prioritized his recovery after his knee stopped responding to treatment.
