Wetherholt’s Wrist Threatens Rookie Race | MLB News

Rookie phenom JJ Wetherholt is sidelined with right wrist tendinitis, placed on the 10-day injured list as his pain escalated over the past few days. The Cardinals called up César Prieto to fill his spot, and while Wetherholt’s absence isn’t urgent given the team’s playoff outlook, it’s a blow for his historic pace—already in 130 games this season. He could return by Sept. 9, leaving just 16 games before the season ends. With Rookie of the Year honors on the line, his performance—and recovery—could net St. Louis an extra draft pick. Fans are holding their breath hoping for a swift, full recovery.
