Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Officially put on IL
Winn (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.
Winn was originally slated to start Friday's series opener against Milwaukee, but he was scratched before the start of the contest. The Cardinals subsequently decided to rule him out for the season since he hasn't recovered as well as hoped from a torn meniscus in his right knee. With Winn officially landing on the IL on Saturday, his big-league roster spot was filled by infielder Jose Fermin.

Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Logs steal in third straight game
De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Athletics.

Masyn Winn SS | STL
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Out for season
The Cardinals will shut Winn (knee) down for the rest of the season, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
After being diagnosed with a meniscus tear in his right knee Wednesday, the initial expectation was that Winn would play through the injury and wait until the offseason to undergo surgery. However, manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that the 23-year-old infielder hasn't been recovering as well as the team had hoped, so the Cardinals will pull the plug on his season and use Thomas Saggese as their primary shortstop going forward. Winn will close the book on the 2025 campaign with a .253/.310/.363 slash line alongside nine homers, 51 RBI, 72 runs scored and nine steals across 537 plate appearances.

Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Recovery ahead of schedule
Bogaerts (foot) took on-field batting practice Friday and believes he is ahead of schedule, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Bogaerts took on-field batting practice for the first time since being placed on the injured list Aug. 29 due to a non-displaced fracture in his left foot. He has been progressing well since suffering the injury and could be on track to return before the end of the regular season. Jake Cronenworth and Jose Iglesias (hand) have been handling most of the shortstop work since Bogaerts went down.
