Mariners manager Scott Servais said Winker was scratched from the lineup ahead of Monday's 4-3 loss to the Tigers due to a neck issue, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury looks to be a day-to-day concern, but it could be enough to keep Winker on the bench for both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader with Detroit. Sam Haggerty also departed Monday's game with a groin injury and is also iffy for the twin bill, potentially leaving the Mariners shorthanded in the outfield.

Winker has been scratched from Monday's starting lineup against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear if Winker was removed from the starting nine due to an injury, or whether skipper Scott Servais simply had a change of heart. Sam Haggerty will start the contest in left field and bat eighth.

Winker went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

It took until the ninth inning, but Winker helped the Mariners avoid a shutout with his three-run blast. It was his first extra-base hit in 15 games, and his first homer since Aug. 17, as the outfielder has endured a rough second half of the campaign. The extended slump has dropped his slash line to .219/.344/.344 with 14 homers, 53 RBI, 51 runs scored and 15 doubles through 136 contests. On the bright side, he's hit safely in four of his last five games.
