Summary
Cardinals’ star rookie JJ Wetherholt’s latest injury hits hard—sidelined again with lower-body soreness as a critical series looms. His absence sidelines a hot hitter (.300+ in 13 games) and rookie-of-the-year favorite, forcing Lars Nootbaar into the leadoff spot. St. Louis, once surprise contenders, now struggles at the plate (5-10 in last 15) and clings to a wild card spot by a half-game. With offense stalled and playoff hopes on the line, the front office faces a crossroads: trade veterans for a rebuild around Wetherholt—or fight for the postseason.
