Summary
Jesse Winker was removed from the Mets’ game against the Cardinals after injuring his right side while making a throw, leading to an MRI that revealed oblique damage. He is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list as he returns to New York for further testing, with the potential for a lengthy absence depending on the severity of the injury. Winker, who has had a modest start to the season with a 104 wRC+, was acquired by the Mets last season and signed to a one-year deal, making his injury particularly impactful for the team’s left-handed batting depth.
