The St. Louis Cardinals place rookie JJ Wetherholt on the 10-day injured list due to right wrist tendinitis. The move sidelines the player with a condition affecting the wrist, which can impact grip, swing mechanics, and pitching or batting performance.
Both outlets report the same roster decision and diagnosis, framing it as an injury-related setback for the team. The Winnipeg Free Press focuses on the specifics of the placement and injury type, while Yardbarker characterizes the news as an “injury blow” for St. Louis. Neither source indicates a longer-term timeline beyond the standard 10-day designation, and both present the IL placement as the immediate consequence of the tendinitis.
As Wetherholt remains out for at least the minimum IL period, the Cardinals must adjust their roster and playing plans in his absence until he is medically cleared to return.
