St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn suffered no serious injuries in a single-car accident following the team’s walk-off win over the New York Mets on Wednesday (2-1 in 11 innings), the Cardinals announced. They added that the accident was due to wet pavement on Interstate 40.
Here is the team’s statement on Winn’s accident:
“Masyn, who was alone in the vehicle, was attended to by local police and Cardinals security and medical staff. He was examined at a nearby hospital and suffered no serious injuries. We are grateful that he is OK, and thank the first responders in our community who helped Masyn tonight.”
The Cardinals have an off-day on Thursday and will open a series with the Tigers in Detroit on Friday. It is unclear whether Winn will miss any games following the accident.
Winn, 24, is off to a 4 for 25 (.160) start this season, including the walk-off single in the bottom of the 11th inning Wednesday. He hit a respectable .261/.312/.391 the last two seasons with terrific shortstop defense that won him a Gold Glove in 2025. Winn was a 3.5 or so WAR player in both 2024 and 2025.
If Winn misses time, utility man Thomas Saggese would likely step in at shortstop. The rebuilding Cardinals are 4-2 on the young season.
