EDGE Analysis

Winker landed on the Mets' injured list in mid-July due to back inflammation. He was pulled from his rehab assignment last week after suffering a setback, and the injury is severe enough for the 32-year-old to be officially sidelined for the rest of the 2025 campaign. Winker will shift his focus to being ready for the spring training and will enter the offseason as a free agent.
