J.J. Wetherholt Homers in Second Straight Game on Sunday
J.J. Wetherholt went 1-for-4 on Sunday at Double-A Springfield, smacking a home run in his second straight game and third of the year. He also swiped his fourth bag of the season. Wetherholt had been raking through mid-April before missing a week and a half with an illness, and was cold upon his return, going 3-for-25 (.120) over eight games. However, the 22-year-old's bat has begun to heat up again, going 10-for-29 (.345) over the last seven contests. Despite the aforementioned cold spell, the Cardinals' top-ranked prospect is slashing .296/.383/.449 with a .380 wOBA and 128 wRC+ through 27 games. He also owns an impressive 12:13 BB:K. With a little more seasoning at Double-A, the 2024 first-round draft pick should see some time at Triple-A later this year and could be looking at a major league debut in 2026, so dynasty managers will want to pay close attention to how he fares at the next level.
