Kolten Wong has been one of the catalyst in the Cardinals August surge to the front of the Wild Card standings. His hamstring injury suffered on Saturday has resulted in the gold-glove-caliber second baseman making another trip to the DL. If the St. Louis Cardinals make the playoffs in 2018, they will need a healthy Kolten Wong at second base.
Wong suffered what General Manager Michael Girsch called a “relatively mild strain” of his left hamstring, according to Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com. The Cardinals are optimistic Wong will return on or around September 5th, which is the first day he will be eligible to come off the 10 day DL.
