MILWAUKEE — Masyn Winn’s goals when he took swings and fielded grounders Friday afternoon were to get some improvement, any improvement in his achy right knee and, when he did not, “hide” how he felt so maybe he could try again.

Winn wanted to wring a few more games out of this season so that he could play at least one more time at Busch Stadium before yielding the tear in his meniscus that he’s spent months managing.

“I was hoping after having three days off it would feel a lot better,” he said Saturday evening. “I showed up (Friday), and it was really tough to swing, really tough to take groundballs. The training staff noticed it. I was trying to hide it a little bit. But (I) went in there, got some work done. Kind of in a lot of pain. Made the executive decision to just shut it down.
