Jesse Winker exited during the fourth inning of the Mets’ 6-5 loss to the Cardinals due to right side oblique damage sustained while throwing. An MRI confirmed the injury, and Winker will undergo further testing in New York, likely resulting in a 10-day injured list placement before the Mets’ series against the Diamondbacks. This injury follows Winker’s first outfield start of the season, and his absence will impact the roster, as the Mets may consider call-ups from Triple-A to fill the designated hitter role he shared with Starling Marte.
