Cardinals Rookie JJ Wetherholt Goes on 10-Day Injured List with Right Wrist Tendinitis
Cesar Prieto was recalled from Triple-A Memphis as Wetherholt missed at least 10 days and his Rookie of the Year lead could be affected.
- On Sunday, the St. Louis Cardinals placed rookie sensation JJ Wetherholt on the 10-day Injured List due to right wrist tendinitis, sidelining their shortstop as the team sits 4.5 games out of playoff contention.
- Injuries have plagued the Cardinals recently; the team lost Masyn Winn, Andre Pallante, Hunter Dobbins, Blaze Jordan, Peter Strzelecki, and Everson Pereira to the Injured List, leaving all but one infield starter sidelined in six days.
- To fill the roster spot, the Cardinals recalled Infielder Cesar Prieto from Triple-A Memphis. Wetherholt departs after 130 games, slashing.242/.343/.370 with 17 homers, 48 RBIs, and 14 stolen bases.
- Wetherholt's absence could impact the National League Rookie of the Year race, where he is considered the favorite against Sal Stewart of the Cincinnati Reds and New York Mets duo Carson Benge and Nolan McLean.
- Thomas Saggese will likely handle shortstop until Wetherholt or Winn returns, while the Prospect Promotion Incentive remains a factor as the club hopes for a swift recovery.
