Playing Monday after all
Winn (hip) is starting at shortstop and batting sixth against the Nationals on Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Analysis
Winn was initially slated to miss a third consecutive game, but he has made enough progress in his recovery from a left hip injury to be back in action for Monday's contest. With Winn back in the Cardinals' lineup, Thomas Saggese will shift from shortstop to left field while Jose Fermin moves to the bench.

Exits game with hip tightness
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Winn departed Friday's game against the Tigers due to left hip tightness, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Analysis
Winn was noticeably gimpy when running out a groundball in the fifth inning and was then lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh. He noted that he first felt tightness as a result of overdoing it in the batting cage Tuesday. Winn is expected to sit out Saturday but could be back in action Sunday for St. Louis.

Back in lineup Friday
Winn (undisclosed) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Friday's game versus the Tigers.
Analysis
Winn was involved in a car accident Wednesday prior to the Cardinals' off day Thursday, but he emerged uninjured and won't have to miss any games. The shortstop is just 4-for-25 with one stolen base and a 2:5 BB:K in his first 27 plate appearances this season.

Uninjured in car accident
Winn was involved in a single-car accident in St. Louis on Wednesday but did not suffer serious injuries, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Analysis
The Cardinals released a statement saying Winn's accident was caused by wet pavement. He was examined at a nearby hospital before being sent home. The incident occurred shortly after Winn delivered a walk-off RBI single in the Cardinals' extra-innings win over the Mets. St. Louis is idle Thursday before opening a road trip in Detroit on Friday. The club will re-evaluate Winn prior to Friday's contest before determining his availability. It's been a rough start to the season offensively for Winn, who is 4-for-25 with one stolen base and a 2:5 BB:K in his first 27 plate appearances.
