ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn underwent an MRI on his left knee on Tuesday.
Winn legged out a fielder’s choice play and exited Sunday’s loss to Kansas City in the seventh inning with left knee soreness, describing it at the time as a cramp-like issue.
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said the results of the MRI were not known before the team opened a three-game series against Pittsburgh.
“We want to make sure that if we go today, and we’re pushing through anything at all that it’s as tolerated, that we’re not going to risk anything further,” Marmol said. “So, depending on what comes back from that, then we’ll have a plan in place.”
Winn, a Gold Glove winner last season, is hitting .255 with a home run and 17 RBIs. He is not in Tuesday’s lineup.
