Winn was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers due to thumb soreness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Winn is still feeling lingering soreness from the thumb fracture he suffered in late August, and because the Cardinals have nothing left to play for this season, they'll opt to keep the 24-year-old on the bench in both of their remaining games. Thomas Saggese will enter the lineup and start at shortstop in Winn's place.

Rotowire
Winn (thumb) said Wednesday that he expects to be back in the lineup Friday when the Cardinals return home to host the White Sox, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Winn returned from a left thumb fracture Tuesday but was then scratched from Wednesday's lineup versus the Giants due to lingering soreness in the thumb. The shortstop noted that he took a bad-hop grounder off his glove hand pregame, which caused the thumb to swell up. However, Winn said after Wednesday's contest that the swelling had already subsided, and he expects to be ready to roll Friday. Manager Oliver Marmol said Winn's availability for the final weeks of the season will be a "daily basis" decision.

Rotowire
Winn was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco due to left thumb soreness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Winn just returned from the 10-day injured list Tuesday after missing more than two weeks with a left thumb fracture, and it seems he might have been activated too soon. If Winn needs to go back on the IL, it would likely end his season. The Cardinals could offer more on the shortstop's status after Wednesday's contest. Jose Fermin will enter the lineup in Winn's place and will play second base, while Thomas Saggese will shift over to shortstop.
Winn (thumb) will have his activation from the 10-day injured list delayed due to discomfort he felt during pregame batting practice Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Winn had targeted a return Saturday, but certain kinds of swings still give him trouble and the Cardinals "need to get on the other side of it completely" before the shortstop is reinstated, per manager Oliver Marmol. The 24-year-old has missed the last two-plus weeks with a small fracture in his left thumb. Winn's readiness to return to the active roster will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. Thomas Saggese has drawn the last six starts at shortstop for St. Louis in Winn's stead.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Remaining out Sunday
Rotowire
Winn (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Winn will be on the bench for a fourth straight contest while he contends with a sore left thumb, which stemmed from a hard slide into a base during Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Reds. The 24-year-old was able to make a pinch-hitting appearance Thursday and served as a late-inning defensive replacement Friday, so the Cardinals are seemingly hopeful that Winn will be ready to return to the starting nine after another day of rest coupled with Monday's team off day.
