Masyn Winn Hitting Ninth In Big-League Debut
1 year agoSt. Louis Cardinals shortstop prospect Masyn Winn is making his major-league debut on Friday against the visiting New York Mets, playing shortstop and batting ninth in the order. The club's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Thursday night and is expected to take over primary duties at the 6 in St. Louis for the rest of the season. He earned the promotion by hitting .288 (128-for-445) with 18 home runs, 15 doubles, seven triples, 61 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 99 runs scored in 105 games for Memphis this year. The 21-year-old is projected to be the Cards' shortstop of the future, so we'll get an early look at end to close out 2023. Winn won't be as attractive if he stays at the bottom of the lineup, but he's worth considering in fantasy leagues off the waiver wire for his speed alone.
