Winker was recalled by the Reds on Friday and could be set to make his major league debut this weekend.
EDGE Analysis
Winker has picked up right where he left off at Triple-A Louisville this season, hitting .323 with five RBI after slashing .303/.397/.384 in a sizzling 2016 campaign. The 23-year-old is considered one of the Reds' most valuable prospects, known for his low strikeout rate and ability to find the gaps. His power-hitting capacity leaves much to be desired, but Winker could turns some heads if he can get on base. Regular left fielder Adam Duvall is off to a great start this season, batting .316 with three home runs, so playing time may be hard to come by in the early going. Nonetheless, the call up should provide a tremendous opportunity for the young hitter.
