Jesse Winker started his first game of the season but left the field due to right side discomfort while trying to throw out a runner. Following the Mets' doubleheader sweep defeat against the Cardinals, it was revealed that Winker would undergo an MRI for his oblique injury. Manager Carlos Mendoza indicated that Winker is likely facing a stint on the injured list. Replacement options are limited, as infielder Brett Baty is also dealing with an injury, complicating the teamâs strategy moving forward.
Winker departed Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Cardinals with right side discomfort from attempting to throw out a runner at the plate.
After the Mets were swept in the doubleheader - losing 6-5 and 5-4 - manager Carlos Mendoza said the expectation is Winker will be placed on the injured list before Monday's game in Arizona.
