Cardinals' JJ Wetherholt: Goes yard Sunday
Wetherholt went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.
Wetherholt has gone 8-for-26 (.308) over seven games since returning from a brief absence due to groin soreness.

Cardinals' JJ Wetherholt: Returning to action Sunday
Wetherholt (groin) is starting at second base and batting leadoff for St. Louis versus Cincinnati on Sunday.
Wetherholt missed three games due to a groin issue, but he's feeling well enough to return to action Sunday. Bryan Torres covered second base both Friday and Saturday, but he'll move to left field upon Wetherholt's return.

Cardinals' JJ Wetherholt: Sitting third straight
Wetherholt (groin) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Reds, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Groin soreness has kept Wetherholt out of the lineup for both of the Cardinals' last two games, and he'll sit out again Saturday while Bryan Torres picks up a start at the keystone. The Cards don't anticipate Wetherholt moving to the injured list, so he'll likely return to action within the next couple of days.

Cardinals' JJ Wetherholt: Held out again Friday
Wetherholt (lower body) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.
Wetherholt sat out Wednesday's game with lower-body soreness. It was expected that he would return to action Friday following the Cardinals' team off day Thursday, but the rookie infielder needs a bit more time. Bryan Torres will start at second base for St. Louis.

Cardinals' JJ Wetherholt: Playing through lower-half soreness
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Wednesday that Wetherholt has been playing with some lower-half soreness but is expected back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Wetherholt didn't play in Wednesday's win over the Rangers in part so that he could have consecutive days of rest when combined with Thursday's team off day. Barring something unforeseen, the rookie second baseman will be back in the leadoff spot for the Cardinals in Friday's series opener versus Cincinnati.

Wetherholt opened the scoring in the contest with a two-run blast to center field in the third inning. The talented rookie came into Tuesday without a hit over his past three games, but he's now reached base in 10 consecutive contests, tallying a 7:9 BB:K over that span. Wetherholt is enjoying a fine first MLB campaign, slashing .239/.362/.420 with nine home runs, 35 runs, 24 RBI and five stolen bases through 46 games.

Cardinals' JJ Wetherholt: Blasts eighth homer
Wetherholt went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Athletics.
Wetherholt homered four times over his last six games in April before his power dried up to start May. He didn't have an extra-base hit over the previous nine contests, and he's batting a meager .200 (8-for-40) with a 4:8 BB:K this month. The infielder is at a .242/.356/.427 slash line with eight homers, 22 RBI, 32 runs scored, five stolen bases and five doubles over the first 41 games of his big-league career. While consistent contact is still lacking at times, Wetherholt has shown a good enough eye at the plate to stay at the top of the Cardinals' lineup all year.
