Winker (quadriceps) is back in the lineup Friday against the Giants after missing two straight games.

EDGE Analysis

Winker had been dealing with a quad strain, but the issue was considered to be minor, and he's back in action quickly as expected. The 25-year-old hasn't performed according to expectations this season, though not entirely in a bad way. He's seen his batting average drop from .299 to .237 but already has a career-high nine homers.
