Wetherholt Back, Cardinals Adjust | Sports News

JJ Wetherholt’s back in the Cardinals lineup after a wrist injury, ready to lead off and start at second base as the team gears up for its final stretch — even if playoff hopes are fading. The rookie’s been tearing it up this season with .242 batting average, 17 homers, and 48 RBIs, putting him in Rookie of the Year contention despite Sal Stewart’s edge. To make room, Ramon Urias and Peter Strzelecki were DFA’d, opening the door for Thomas Saggese and Bryan Torres to soak up major league reps. With just a few home games left, fans should grab tickets — this could be Wetherholt’s last chance to shine before next year’s spotlight hits.
