Cardinals Injury Crisis Hits Hard | St. Louis Cardinals News

The Cardinals are reeling from a brutal injury wave that’s decimated their infield and bullpen, with rookie phenom JJ Wetherholt sidelined by wrist inflammation—just as he was stepping into the spotlight at shortstop. With Masyn Winn also out, the team’s core infield is nearly wiped out, and even new outfielder Everson Pereira is sidelined. Pitchers Andre Pallante and Hunter Dobbins added to the chaos, forcing bullpen games. While Winn and Pallante are expected back in early September and Wetherholt’s absence may be temporary, his Rookie of the Year chances are now in serious jeopardy against stiff competition. Still, his undeniable talent and potential for a strong comeback make him a cornerstone for years to come—despite this crushing setback.
