Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Knee surgery scheduled for Thursday
Rotowire
Winn will have a consultation Wednesday and then undergo arthroscopic surgery on the meniscus tear in his right knee Thursday in Dallas, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
More details regarding Winn's post-op rehab should be available following the operation, but the full expectation is that he will be 100 percent for the start of spring training. Winn played with the injury for several months before the decision was made in mid-September to shut him down. Thomas Saggese has been filling in at shortstop for the Cardinals since Winn was placed on the 10-day injured list.
Winn is expected to undergo arthroscopic surgery within the next two weeks to address a torn meniscus in his right knee, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Before Winn was placed on the injured list Saturday, manager Oliver Marmol confirmed that the slick-fielding shortstop won't take the field again in 2025 since he hadn't bounced back as well as the Cardinals had hoped while playing through the knee injury over the last several weeks. The surgery should help provide more permanent relief for the 23-year-old, who previously had a similar procedure on the same knee in high school, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Winn noted that after the previous surgery, he had resumed playing within three months, and the expectation is that he'll be available as a full participant for the start of spring training in February. Thomas Saggese has started each of the Cardinals' last five games at shortstop and is likely to serve as the primary option at the position for the remainder of the season.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Out for season
Rotowire
The Cardinals will shut Winn (knee) down for the rest of the season, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
After being diagnosed with a meniscus tear in his right knee Wednesday, the initial expectation was that Winn would play through the injury and wait until the offseason to undergo surgery. However, manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that the 23-year-old infielder hasn't been recovering as well as the team had hoped, so the Cardinals will pull the plug on his season and use Thomas Saggese as their primary shortstop going forward. Winn will close the book on the 2025 campaign with a .253/.310/.363 slash line alongside nine homers, 51 RBI, 72 runs scored and nine steals across 537 plate appearances.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Needs offseason knee surgery
Rotowire
Winn has been diagnosed with a meniscus tear in his right knee that will require arthroscopic surgery over the offseason, but he plans to continue playing through the issue, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Winn has dealt with nagging soreness in the knee for much of the season and it has caused him to miss games here and there, including Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners. However, the shortstop has been told it's unlikely he'll do additional damage if he plays through the injury, so his availability will continue to be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. The impending surgery isn't expected to affect his offseason routine or his readiness for spring training. Winn is slashing .253/.310/.363 with nine home runs and nine stolen bases in 2025, and he leads all of baseball with 22 Outs Above Average, per Statcast.

Winn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
After sitting out last Sunday's loss to the Rays due to lingering soreness in his left knee, Winn proceeded to start six straight games, going 5-for-25 with a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs. The shortstop doesn't appear to be dealing with any setbacks, so his absence from the lineup for Sunday's matinee looks to be rest-related. Thomas Saggese will cover shortstop in Winn's stead.

Rotowire
Winn will undergo an MRI on his injured left knee Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Winn has been playing through soreness in the knee since around the All-Star break and was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Rays due to renewed discomfort. He underwent an MRI in July which "showed a little something," per Winn, and he'll have imaging on the knee again Monday. The shortstop hopes to return to the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates, but more will be known regarding Winn's condition after the MRI results are in. If Winn has to miss additional time, Thomas Saggese would likely handle the bulk of the reps at shortstop for the Cardinals.
