St. Louis Cardinals’ injury woes deepen as Willson Contreras heads to injured list with shoulder strain

Date:

Injury Struggles for Willson Contreras Intensify

The injury challenges for St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras have taken a significant turn for the worse. On Wednesday, the Cardinals confirmed that Contreras will be placed on the 10-day injured list due to a strain in his right shoulder. This move is retroactive to September 16, adding another layer of concern to the team’s lineup.

Roster Adjustments in Response to Injury

In light of Contreras’s setback, the Cardinals have made a strategic roster adjustment by recalling INF José Fermín from Triple-A Memphis. This decision underscores the team’s urgency to fill the gap left by Contreras, who has been a vital component of their offense.

Contreras’s Recent Performance

Contreras’s last appearance on the field was on Monday, where he went two-for-three in a challenging 11-6 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. The Cardinals will now have to navigate the remainder of the season without one of their key players, amplifying the stakes as they look to stay competitive in their division.
