Winn was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays due to knee pain, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
The shortstop previously received an injection in his knee over the All-Star break to address lingering discomfort and had been playing through the issue for the entire second half while starting in all but two of the Cardinals' 33 games, but Winn will head to the bench for the series finale after Saturday's off day apparently didn't provide enough time for him to move past the apparent flareup. Winn can be considered day-to-day heading into the Cardinals' four-game series with the Pirates that begins Monday.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Pops ninth homer in loss
Rotowire
Winn went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 12-8 loss against the Yankees.
Winn gave the Cardinals an early boost with his ninth homer of the season off Max Fried in the second inning, but the spark faded as they went on to drop Saturday's high-scoring contest. Known more for his elite defense than his bat, the 23-year-old shortstop owns a .392 slugging percentage and a .713 OPS this season, hovering right around league average offensively.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Pops homer Monday
Rotowire
Winn went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.
Winn continues to hit well since the All-Star break -- he's gone 21-for-60 (.350) over his last 16 games. His homer Monday was his first since June 24 versus the Cubs. The shortstop has struggled to tap into power this year, logging eight homers and 24 doubles through 101 games after posting 15 long balls and 32 two-baggers over 150 games a year ago. Winn has added a .270/.325/.395 slash line, six stolen bases, 42 RBI and 60 runs scored in 2025.
Winn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
With a team off day on tap Thursday, the Cardinals will hold Winn out of the lineup for the series finale Wednesday to effectively give him a two-day break. Thomas Saggese steps in at shortstop in place of Winn, who had started in each of the Cardinals' first 12 games of the second half while slashing .378/.391/.467 with zero home runs, one steal, seven RBI and three runs.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Trio of hits in win
Rotowire
Winn went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-1 win over the Marlins.
Winn racked up three hits Monday, highlighted by a bases-clearing double in the seventh inning that helped break the game open. The 23-year-old has been locked in at the plate since the All-Star break, going 17-for-42 with four doubles and seven RBI over 11 games. While he may not profile as a standout hitter, Winn remains a key contributor for the Cardinals thanks to his elite defense at shortstop.
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Playing through knee injury
Rotowire
Winn revealed after Tuesday's loss to the Rockies that he received an injection for a nagging knee injury prior to the All-Star break, Fanduel Sports Network Midwest reports.
Winn said of the injection that "I don't really think it did anything" and that his knee is "jacked up right now." However, Winn is receiving daily treatment and plans to continue playing through the issue. It's not clear when exactly Winn's knee began bothering him, but he's 10-for-21 in the first five games of the second half, so it doesn't seem to be greatly hindering him at the plate.
Winn went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Winn has swiped a bag in each of his last two games after going 18 contests without attempting a steal. The shortstop has warmed up with the bat with a trio of multi-hit efforts across his last six games, going 8-for-25 (.320) in that span. On the season, he's been just fine without standing out, slashing .258/.319/.380 with seven home runs, six steals, 32 RBI, 56 runs scored and 19 doubles over 86 games.
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Doubles among trio of knocks
Rotowire
Winn went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a double in Wednesday's 8-2 loss to Washington.
Winn collected at least three hits for the fifth time this season. The 23-year-old shortstop continues to bat second in St. Louis' lineup on a regular basis, which helps offer him plenty of fantasy upside at a premium position despite a fairly pedestrian campaign at the plate so far. Through 81 outings, Winn is hitting .260 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 53 runs scored and four stolen bases covering 308 at-bats.
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Racks up season-high four RBI
Rotowire
Winn went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-7 victory over the Cubs.
Winn's four RBI established a season high, and it was just the fifth time this year that he ripped multiple extra-base hits. June has been a quiet period so far for the speedy shortstop, who's batting just .216 with five doubles, nine RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases through 88 at-bats this month, but Winn has remained St. Louis' everyday shortstop despite the recent cold spell.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Idle in Game 2
Rotowire
Winn isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox.
Winn is getting a breather after going 0-for-4 with a walk in the first game of the doubleheader Thursday. The shortstop got a rare day off June 15, but he still logged two at-bats in that game. The last game he did not appear in was April 21 due to a back injury.
