Masyn Winn Stats

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop prospect Masyn Winn is making his major-league debut on Friday against the visiting New York Mets, playing shortstop and batting ninth in the order. The club's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Thursday night and is expected to take over primary duties at the 6 in St. Louis for the rest of the season. He earned the promotion by hitting .288 (128-for-445) with 18 home runs, 15 doubles, seven triples, 61 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 99 runs scored in 105 games for Memphis this year. The 21-year-old is projected to be the Cards' shortstop of the future, so we'll get an early look at end to close out 2023. Winn won't be as attractive if he stays at the bottom of the lineup, but he's worth considering in fantasy leagues off the waiver wire for his speed alone.

The St. Louis Cardinals selected the contract of top shortstop prospect Masyn Winn from Triple-A Memphis on Thursday. He'll take the roster spot of outfielder Lars Nootbaar (abdomen), who is going on the 10-day injured list. Winn, the team's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, gets the call to the bigs after hitting .283/.356/.465 with an .821 OPS, 17 home runs, 15 doubles, seven triples, 60 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 97 runs scored in 104 games for Memphis. The 21-year-old should be an immediate pickup in fantasy leagues as a potential five-tool contributor at a premium position for the Red Birds. With the Cardinals playing out the string in a lost season, Winn should handle regular duties at shortstop the rest of the way in 2023.

St. Louis Cardinals top prospect Masyn Winn (glute) left Sunday's game with Triple-A Memphis after the sixth inning with what president of baseball operations John Mozeliak described as a "mild glute strain." The 21-year-old was hurt after stepping on first base awkwardly, and he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout before being replaced at shortstop. For the season, Winn has hit .284 with an .822 OPS, 17 hope runs, 15 doubles, six triples and 59 RBI at Memphis. He's also 17-for-19 on stolen base attempts. Given how dominant Winn has been this year on the farm, there's a very good chance he'll get called up to the big leagues for the final month of the regular season in September.
