Wetherholt Injury Update for Cardinals | St. Louis Cardinals News

Cardinals’ promising rookie JJ Wetherholt is sidelined with wrist tendinitis, but the team remains optimistic he’ll return soon. After a cortisone shot and rest, he’s set to test his wrist with swings and could be back by the end of their road trip. Despite this setback, Wetherholt’s been a standout rookie — hitting for average, crushing 17 homers, driving in 48 runs, and earning Gold Glove buzz. His injury may hurt his Rookie of the Year chances, but his impact on the Cardinals’ playoff push — especially against the White Sox — remains crucial.
