Cardinals' Masyn Winn Suffers Knee Injury, Plans Offseason Surgery

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn is dealing with a meniscus tear in his right knee that requires arthroscopic surgery in the offseason. Despite the injury, Winn plans to continue playing through the remainder of the 2025 season, as the team believes there is no risk of further damage or jeopardy to his 2026 season. Winn has missed some games recently, including being out of the lineup for the Cardinals' game against the Seattle Mariners, with Thomas Saggese and Jose Fermin filling in at shortstop and second base, respectively. The Cardinals' medical staff is monitoring Winn's condition closely, and his availability will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. Winn himself expressed confidence that he cannot worsen the injury by playing, motivating him to remain active for the team despite their unlikely postseason chances. Over the season, Winn has performed well offensively and defensively, leading all of baseball with 22 Outs Above Average.
