JJ Wetherholt | Fantasy Outlook

JJ Wetherholt returns from injury to anchor the Cardinals' infield down the stretch

Wetherholt returned from a brief 10-day injured list stint on September 16, immediately delivering three hits and driving in his 50th run of the year across his last four games. The fourth-place Cardinals (76-80) are officially eliminated from postseason contention, but the rookie standout remains locked in as an everyday presence in the middle infield to close out 2026.

Through 134 games in his impressive debut campaign, Wetherholt has launched 17 homers and swiped 14 bases with a strong .342 on-base percentage, surpassing our pre-season projections in both power and speed. Even with a quiet .250 average over the last 14 days, his consistent contact rates and solid strike-zone discipline prove his late-season output is no fluke.

St. Louis embarks on a six-game road swing against the Pirates and Brewers to wrap up the week. While facing Paul Skenes (3.97 ERA) presents a tough hurdle, matchups against Jared Jones (4.17 ERA) and Dustin May (4.68 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) offer plenty of run-scoring upside for the young hitter. Lock him into middle infield spots. Start.
