His placement on the IL is retroactive to Saturday. Winn said he
expects to rejoin the team next week during its West Coast trip.
“I’m glad it’s not something worse than what it is,” Winn said.
“You know, I should be back for the road trip, so I got to miss
this homestand. But you know, it sucks missing games right now
when we need every win we can.”
Winn is the reigning NL Gold Glove winner at shortstop. He's
batting .238 with five homers and 51 RBIs and leads the league
with 317 assists and 86 double plays turned.
St. Louis recalled infielder Nolan Gorman from Triple-A Memphis.
Gorman started the season as the Cardinals’ third baseman, but
was sent down in early June after hitting .194 with seven homers
and 26 RBIs to start the season.
Gorman had a slow start with Memphis as he made adjustments to
his swing. He has batted .182 overall in Triple-A, but has shown
his power stroke recently with seven homers in 63 at-bats this
month.
“I was able to talk to him about four or five days ago, and he
felt a lot more confident as to his work and how he’s going
about it, and what he’s trying to do in the box and executing
upon those things,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. “So,
we have a need with Masyn going down. He comes up and he’ll get
an opportunity to mix and match into the lineups and see what we
got.”
Gorman was sixth in Tuesday's lineup as the Cardinals opened a
series against visiting Baltimore.
