Injury Status: Healthy
by Keith Hernandez
9/16/26 11:58am
The St. Louis Cardinals announced on Wednesday that they activated rookie infielder JJ Wetherholt (wrist) from the 10-day injured list. Wetherholt is right back in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting San Francisco Giants and right-hander Anthony Molina, starting at second base and batting leadoff in his return. He will return for the first time since late August while dealing with tendinitis in his right wrist. The 24-year-old left-handed-hitting infielder can still help fantasy managers battling for a championship in the final week and a half of the regular season. The former seventh overall selection from West Virginia in 2024 will return to a .242/.343/.370 slash line with a .713 OPS, 17 home runs, 48 RBI, 14 stolen bases, and 88 runs scored across his 505 at-bats. Wetherholt struggled in August before he was shut down, going 19-for-95 (.200) with a homer, four doubles, seven RBI, 19 runs scored, two steals, 15 walks, and 19 strikeouts in 25 games played. Hopefully, he will have better results on offense to close out the year with his wrist issues behind him.

FANTASY OUTLOOK by Eric Cross
JJ Wetherholt 2026 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Top Prospect Looking to Break Through in St. Louis
With the St. Louis Cardinals in a full rebuild, we should see plenty of their prospects get a shot this season, headlined by their consensus top-10 overall prospect, JJ Wetherholt. It was an impressive 2025 season for Wetherholt, who racked up 28 doubles, 17 home runs, and 23 steals in 109 games with a .306/.421/.510 slash line.

With the St. Louis Cardinals in a full rebuild, we should see plenty of their prospects get a shot this season, headlined by their consensus top-10 overall prospect, JJ Wetherholt. It was an impressive 2025 season for Wetherholt, who racked up 28 doubles, 17 home runs, and 23 steals in 109 games with a .306/.421/.510 slash line. On top of that, Wetherholt had nearly as many walks (72) as strikeouts (73), and his 154 wRC+ was the ninth-best mark in the minor leagues for those who made at least 400 plate appearances. While not one single tool stands out for Wetherholt, he's above-average or plus across the board offensively. In 2025, he registered an 80% contact rate, 14.6% walk rate, and a 14.9% strikeout rate while consistently showcasing his plus power and above-average speed all season. The 23-year-old has a recent NFBC ADP of 239, which aligns with his RotoBaller overall ranking of 243. With at least 500 plate appearances in the majors this season, Wetherholt could make a strong run at a 20/20 season with a good average and OBP as well, making him a solid pick at his current ADP in upcoming fantasy baseball drafts.less...
