Jesse Winker, New York Mets, Out with Right Oblique Strain on 10-Day Injured List
Jesse Winker of the New York Mets is out with a right oblique strain and has been placed on the 10-day injured list.
What It Means
Jesse Winker's absence could affect the Mets' lineup, particularly in the designated hitter spot. Winker has played 24 games this season, starting 19. His batting average stands at .239, with 16 hits and 10 RBIs. This injury also comes after a recent game against the St. Louis Cardinals where he did not play.
With Winker out, players like Starling Marte and Mark Vientos might see more time in the designated hitter role. This change occurs as the Mets prepare for their upcoming game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. The team will need to adjust, as Winker had a .333 average over his last three games before the injury.
