Wetherholt Out Due to Wrist Injury | St. Louis Cardinals News

JJ Wetherholt’s wrist injury has forced the St. Louis Cardinals’ key infielder onto the injured list, as daily pain and declining performance made it impossible to play through the discomfort. A vital offensive force with 17 homers, 48 RBIs, and a .242 average, his absence stings for a team still in contention for a Wild Card spot. Manager Oliver Marmol confirmed the decision was made to prioritize health over playing through pain, hoping rest will allow Wetherholt to return strong as the Cardinals push toward the playoffs with a 68-69 record.
