If it were up to many St. Louis Cardinals fans, JJ Wetherholt would have been in their lineup this weekend against the Chicago Cubs. Unfortunately, we are still at least a few weeks away from that becoming a potential reality.
While a debut in 2025 is still very much up in the air, there are some clues we can look at that may point to when Wetherholt could find his way to the big league club this season, following a similar path as their current shortstop, Masyn Winn.
If the Cardinals want to call up JJ Wetherholt in 2025, their series against the Pittsburgh Pirates in late August makes too much sense
On August 18th, 2023, Masyn Winn made his MLB debut with the Cardinals, allowing the organization to get Winn's feet wet at the big league level while maintaining his rookie eligibility for the 2024 season.
