"I'm not going on the IL"

[Alex Reyes Cy Young]

I would be shocked if he doesn’t spend at least 10 days on the IL

It could happen but I would be shocked . He had back issue last year too and still played in 150 games. This kid wants to play . Look for him to get a 2 day rest and be back in there. Trainers will get him good to go again .

Saggese plays the next two then Winn plays? I don't hate it at all.

Masyn Winn says as he's clearly in pain

Well that aged well.

Let's just say I am not shocked. Especially after the way Saggese filled in last night.

I think they need to bring another MI up in the short term.

#STLCards lineup for today:

Nootbaar LF
Baker DH
Contreras 1B
Arenado 3B
Donovan 2B
Walker RF
Pagès C
Scott II CF
Saggese SS

Mikolas SP

Thomas Saggese starts at SS for Masyn Winn (back spasms). No roster move … yet.

Its amazing that with how.much the cardinals have pushed so many prospects into utility roles, that we also end up with not having all positions covered with insurance on roster because we also do some things like carry 3 players for 1b/dh only(contreras, baker, burly although burly can technically play outfield) when donovan arenado and catchers are probably capable of backing up 1b anyway so that isnt the position to need multiple backups for.

We have 9 players on the roster w/2 as strictly 1B (Baker and Contreras). That would seem to be enough.

Sure, if he wants to live on the IL.

For anyone that has been watching the games, Jordan Walker has looked much better in the OF. Now he’s not close, yet to winning a Gold Glove, but he has looked pretty good so far. Actually, his throwing arm has started to deter runners for trying to take an extra base as well. So, Siani, is probably the least needed player on the roster. Baker just missed hitting a home run in his at bat and that threat is needed on the team. I think I’d bring up Barrero, as he can play shortstop, or CF. Just makes more sense to me.

Gorman for Winn

Barrero for Siani

Makes sense

I dont think they are gonna clear room on 40 man for barrero yet. Especially if he woukd get no playing time and would go bacl down anyways when winn was healthy(i think saggese should stay when both gorman and winn are healthy. Saggese should be the backup ss. Hes earned it for now. But siani or baker should be optioned for fermin til winn is vack

[45s]

Back issues can be a lifetime problem

He’s wise to take the time to get right

A potential big free agent deal is at stake…

Agree with this on all points. Barrero fits our roster needs better at this time. Another RHB would be welcome at this time. I would be interested to see how he could do at the big league level with the Cardinals.

Let's just say I am not shocked. Especially after the way Saggese filled in last night.

I was in shock as Winn wished to return in a couple days . From listening to Oli's pregame announcement aired on FanDuel it was evident that Oli wanted the IL and not Winn. Oli used the rationale that he wanted Winn healthy for the summer months as his reason .
The manager makes the call and player must go along with it . I do like that Winn wanted to return in a couple days . He is a gamer. He played in 150 games last year. He doesn't miss often. Hope he comes back well .

No pun intended?
