Cardinals’ Top Prospect JJ Wetherholt Dominating in Triple-A Amid Masyn Winn Injury News
St. Louis Cardinals’ No. 1 prospect JJ Wetherholt has been making a huge impact since his call-up to Triple-A on July 7. In just eight games with the Memphis Redbirds, the 22-year-old shortstop has been on fire at the plate, going 11-for-29 with three doubles, a triple, and four home runs. This impressive performance has resulted in a slash line of .379/.455/.966/1.421 for Wetherholt.
Wetherholt’s outstanding production has also translated into five RBIs and 11 runs scored in a short span of time. With a .310 average in 70 games across two minor league levels, Wetherholt is proving that he is ready for the big leagues.
However, the Cardinals currently have a strong middle infield with shortstop Masyn Winn and second baseman Brendan Donovan. While there may not be an immediate spot for Wetherholt, Winn revealed to reporters on Wednesday that he is dealing with a knee injury and is playing through the pain because he “can’t afford to sit out.”
Despite his impressive performance at the plate since the All-Star break, hitting 7-for-21 (.333), Winn’s comments suggest that he is aware of Wetherholt’s potential to take his spot if he is unable to play through the injury.
With the Cardinals struggling in recent games, there may come a point where it is not worth risking long-term knee issues for Winn to continue playing through the injury. If this is the case, Wetherholt could see his MLB debut as early as August. And with his stellar performance in his first full professional season, it would be hard to argue against his call-up.

With the trade deadline approaching, the Cardinals may have to make some tough decisions regarding their injured players, including Winn. This could open the door for Wetherholt to make his mark in the big leagues and solidify his spot as the Cardinals’ top prospect.
