Cardinals' Masyn Winn Day-to-Day with Wrist Soreness

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn was scratched from the lineup for a spring training game against the Miami Marlins due to soreness in his right wrist, with the team labeling the move as precautionary. Winn, who had a successful rookie season in 2024, will be replaced by Jose Barrero in the game, as the regular-season opener approaches in nine days. After undergoing minor surgery to remove a cyst from his hand in the offseason, Winn is currently batting only .098 in spring training. Despite this setback, the Cardinals are hopeful for his quick recovery, as he aims to improve his performance in the 2025 season. The team is closely monitoring his condition leading up to Opening Day on March 27 against the Minnesota Twins. Winn's absence could impact the Cardinals' offensive strategies as they seek to return to playoff contention after missing the postseason last year.
