Winker was removed from Sunday's game in Kansas City with a bruised left wrist, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

EDGE Analysis

Winker was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded during the fifth inning and was replaced by a pinch runner. The 28-year-old should be considered day-to-day and will have Seattle's scheduled day off Monday to aid in his recovery before Tuesday's series opener versus Texas.

Winker entered Saturday's win over the Royals as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and remained in the game as the designated hitter, going 2-for-3 with a run.

EDGE Analysis

Winker delivered the first of two singles upon being called on to hit for Luis Torrens, coming around to score on Cal Raleigh's 444-foot shot to right a batter later. The veteran outfielder had originally been out of the lineup due to the presence of a southpaw, Kris Bubic, on the mound for the Royals, but his insertion into the game led to Winker snapping a stretch of 14 plate appearances without a hit.

Winker will sit against lefty Kris Bubic and the Royals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Winker had more than a platoon role for much of the year, but he's been on the bench against the last eight lefties the Mariners have faced. He actually has reverse splits this season, posting a 126 wRC+ against lefties and a 97 wRC+ against righties, though those numbers sit at 83 and 136, respectively, for his career. Sam Haggerty will get the start in left field.

Winker is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Winker is 5-for-34 through 11 games in September and will take a seat Tuesday with lefty JP Sears on the mound for the A's. Sam Haggerty will start in left field and bat ninth.

Winker is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Winker will take a seat for the second game in a row with the Angels bringing another lefty (Jose Suarez) to the bump for the series finale. Before he was on the bench for Sunday's 5-1 loss, Winker started in each of the preceding five games and went 3-for-19 with five strikeouts.

Winker isn't in the lineup Saturday against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Winker is resting after he went 2-for-7 with a double, a run, three walks and a strikeout over the last three games. Sam Haggerty will start in left field and bat seventh.

Winker went 1-for-2 with a double and a walk in a loss to the White Sox on Wednesday before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the bottom of the seventh inning.

EDGE Analysis

It was an increasingly rare productive offensive night for Winker, who'd been mired in a 1-for-22 slump over the seven games prior to Wednesday's. The offseason addition is trudging through his poorest season at the plate by far in his big-league career, as his .222 average and .352 slugging percentage are both low-water marks. However, Winker has been able to salvage matters to an extent with a .344 on-base percentage that's largely the byproduct of a career-high 15.5 percent walk rate, and he's also been undeniably held back by a .252 BABIP.

Winker isn't starting Monday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Although right-hander Lance Lynn is starting for the White Sox on Monday, Winker is resting after going 0-for-19 with a run, five walks and seven strikeouts over his last six games. Taylor Trammell will start in left field and bat sixth.

Winker is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Tigers bringing a lefty (Eduardo Rodriguez) to the hill for the second straight day, the lefty-hitting Winker once again finds himself on the bench. Sam Haggerty will pick up the start in left field in place of Winker.

Winker isn't starting Wednesday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Winker will get a breather after he went 0-for-11 with four strikeouts over the last three games. Sam Haggerty (finger) is returning to the lineup as the left fielder and batting ninth.
