Masyn Winn Scratched Last Second from Cardinals Lineup
It’s about as last-minute as it can get for the Cardinals to announce this Masyn Winn news, but he has been scratched from the lineup on Wednesday.
It’s listed as a thumb injury for Winn.
Cardinals reporter Derrick Goold wrote (via X.com):
“Masyn Winn has been scratched due to pain in his left thumb. He is one day removed from being on the IL with a fracture in that thumb.”
It’s unclear as to what caused this injury, but more details will likely emerge following the game. The Cardinals-Giants series finale has already begun, so all that is known is that it’s a thumb injury for Winn.
Jose Fermin is in the batting order in place of Winn.
Here is the updated batting order as well, also per @UnderdogMLB:
B. Torres LF I. Herrera DH A. Burleson 1B L. Bernal C J. Báez RF N. Gorman 3B T. Saggese SS N. Church CF J. Fermín 2B
