Masyn Winn Fantasy Stats

The St. Louis Cardinals are holding shortstop Masyn Winn (arm) out of the Grapefruit League lineup on Monday against the Miami Marlins due to right-arm soreness, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Manager Oliver Marmol said that Winn is "fine" and that his soreness is the result of a "heavy" workload on Sunday. The 23-year-old is expected to return to spring training action later this week on Thursday or Friday, but he could also play in an exhibition game on Wednesday against Team Nicaragua. Through four Grapefruit League games, Winn has gone 2-for-8 at the plate with a stolen base. A knee injury that eventually required meniscus surgery last year may have been to blame for his disappointing offensive numbers. He had a .253/.310/.363 slash line .673 OPS, nine homers, 51 RBI, and nine steals in 129 games. Winn could bounce back some with better health, but with middling power and speed, there's limited upside here. He profiles better as a middle-infield option in mixed fantasy leagues.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (knee) had his 2025 season cut short by a meniscus tear in his knee that led to him getting shut down in mid-September. However, the 23-year-old will reportedly enter 2026 Spring Training fully healthy and could be poised for a breakout season as a result. Across 537 plate appearances in 2025, Winn posted a .253/.310/.363 slash line with nine home runs, 51 RBI, 72 runs scored, and nine stolen bases. He was significantly better in the early part of the season, recording a .276/.352/.435 slash line through the end of May. Winn was reportedly battling knee soreness for an extended stretch before eventually getting shut down, so it's possible that the ailment impacted his performance in the second half. Winn is known as one of MLB's better defensive shortstops, which should give him an extended runway of everyday playing time in St. Louis. If he can put together a full season of the production he flashed to begin 2025, Winn could be a sleeper candidate for fantasy managers to target late in drafts.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (knee) feels healthy and says he is extremely excited to take the field again, facing no limitations in Spring Training. The Gold Glove-winning shortstop was shut down in mid-September for an arthroscopic procedure on his knee to deal with a torn meniscus. He impressed with a .253/.310/.363 triple-slash line despite playing through the knee issue most of the season. The injury may have limited his aggression on the basepaths, where he finished with nine stolen bases to go with his nine homers, 51 RBI, and 72 runs scored. He's expected to be a key part of the Cardinals' lineup in 2026, and he could be a sneaky source of steals and run production if fully healthy and hitting at the top of the order. The Cardinals did lose some key bats, though, so the lineup could struggle as a whole next season.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (knee) had successful surgery on Thursday to fix a torn meniscus in his right knee in Texas, according to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News. Previous estimates have Winn returning to full baseball activities by January, which means he should be ready in plenty of time before spring training. Winn had been playing through the injury for a while, but once it was clear that the Cardinals weren't going to be in the postseason, they shut him down. The 23-year-old is an excellent defender and can also contribute offensively, although he's not a high-end fantasy shortstop due to a lack of power. In his third big-league season, Winn finished with a .253/.310/.363 slash line, .673 OPS, nine home runs, 51 RBI, 72 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in 129 games played. He should be just fine for Opening Day in 2026, barring a setback during his offseason rehab.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (knee) will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Thursday, manager Oliver Marmol announced. The Cardinals expect Winn to be ready for spring training in 2026. The 23-year-old gutted out a meniscus tear during the second half of the season until the Cardinals shut him down earlier this month. With his knee bothering him, Winn went just 4-for-21 with no extra-base hits, one RBI, seven strikeouts, and two walks in seven games in September. The defensive standout finished 2025 with 22 Outs Above Average, which ranked first in the majors when his season came to a premature end, and hit .253/.310/.363 line with nine homers, 51 RBI, 72 runs, and nine steals in 537 plate appearances.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (knee), who has been shut down for the rest of the season due to a torn meniscus in his right knee, will undergo arthroscopic surgery early in the offseason, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic. Winn, who will be a National League Gold Glove candidate, played through his meniscus tear for weeks before finally being shut down. The good news is that his surgery will pose no risk of impacting his availability for next season. The 23-year-old leads all MLB defenders in Outs Above Average (22), and his .994 fielding percentage will be the highest full-season mark by a Cardinals shortstop in club history. Winn also finishes his second full MLB season with a .253/.310/.363 slash line, nine homers, 51 RBI, and nine steals. With Winn out the rest of the year, Thomas Saggese should see more starts at the 6 to close things out.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (knee) is done for the year, manager Oliver Marmol announced on Friday. Winn tried to play through a torn meniscus in his right knee, but the 72-76 Cardinals will instead shut him down for the rest of 2025. Winn, who hasn't played since Monday, was in the Cardinals' initial lineup on Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The club made Winn a late scratch, though, replacing him with Thomas Saggese. The 23-year-old defensive stud will end his season with a .253/.310/.363 line, nine homers, 51 RBI, 72 runs, and nine steals over 537 trips to the plate. Winn is expected to undergo arthroscopic surgery sometime in the coming months. Meanwhile, both Saggese and Brendan Donovan will see time at shortstop over the final two-plus weeks of the season.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (knee) is starting at shortstop and will bat in the six-hole for Friday night's divisional contest against the hosting Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Quinn Priester. Winn will return to the field on Friday after missing the last three games with a meniscus tear in his knee. While the 23-year-old will need surgery in the offseason on his knee, he plans on playing through it for the final couple of weeks of the 2025 campaign. It doesn't exactly give fantasy managers a vote of confidence, especially since he has hit .164 (11-for-67) with no home runs, a double, five RBI, nine runs, and two steals in 18 games played since Aug. 17. Winn has faced Priester only two times in his career and has two hits off of him.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (knee) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. It was recently announced that Winn is dealing with a meniscus tear in his right knee that will require surgery. Despite that, Winn plans to keep playing over the next few weeks and get surgery in the offseason. Fantasy managers should expect the Cardinals to be careful with Winn down the stretch of the season. Thomas Saggese will cover shortstop while Jose Fermin plays second base on Wednesday.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (knee) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to soreness in his left knee. It has been revealed that the 23-year-old has a slight tear of his meniscus, which will require surgery in the offseason. The team plans to let him play through it as there aren't concerns of further damage, it is just a pain tolerance issue at this point. The surgery is also not expected to delay his start to next season. The former second-round draft pick has not had a productive year at the plate, but more so in the second half, producing a .247/.298/.331 slash line with a .281 wOBA and 79 wRC+ since the All-Star break. Hopefully next year will show some improvement, as he currently stands as the 28th-ranked shortstop in terms of fantasy scoring.
