Fantasy Impact:

Winn’s .098/.156/.098 spring line over 45 plate appearances, after wrist soreness, precedes his Friday return atop St. Louis’ lineup, building on a .730 OPS rookie year. The 23-year-old’s set to lead off. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on his speed and upside for early runs and steals in the Cardinals’ 2025 batting order if he heats up.
