Winn was scratched from the lineup for the Cardinals' last game Wednesday in San Francisco, just one day after he had returned from a left thumb fracture. He may continue to deal with some lingering soreness in the thumb the rest of the way, and the Cardinals plan to evaluate Winn's readiness on a day-to-day basis.

Winn returned from a left thumb fracture Tuesday but was then scratched from Wednesday's lineup versus the Giants due to lingering soreness in the thumb. The shortstop noted that he took a bad-hop grounder off his glove hand pregame, which caused the thumb to swell up. However, Winn said after Wednesday's contest that the swelling had already subsided, and he expects to be ready to roll Friday. Manager Oliver Marmol said Winn's availability for the final weeks of the season will be a "daily basis" decision.
