Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn has a ‘clear’ MRI on sore left knee

ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn had an MRI on his left knee on Tuesday, and it came back “clean,” manager Oliver Marmol said.

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.

“He’ll be day to day and he’s feeling a lot better as the day has gone on,” Marmol said during an interview during the Cardinals game against Pittsburgh. “He’ll come in tomorrow, move around a little bit and our hope is he’ll be able to get in there.”

Winn, a Gold Glove winner last season, is hitting .255 with a home run and 17 RBIs. He is not in Tuesday’s lineup.

Fans were on their feet cheering when Díaz entered in the ninth to Timmy Trumpet's “Narcos.” He gave up two hits and one run while earning his fifth save of the season in a 4-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners. His four-seam fastball touched 98 mph.
