Wetherholt’s Wrist and the Cardinals’ Playoff Push | St. Louis Cardinals News

St. Louis Cardinals rookie JJ Wetherholt’s playoff push just got a major setback—his wrist tendinitis has sidelined him for at least ten days, with a September 9th return window pending his response to a new anti-inflammatory shot. With only 23 games left and the team’s postseason hopes hanging in the balance, the Cardinals face a tough call: push him back into action for a few games—or hold him out to avoid risking further injury. Rookie of the Year contention is also on the line, adding pressure to an already delicate decision. Fans are holding their breath as the young star’s wrist heals—because if he can’t play safely, the Cardinals might be better off letting him rest.
