Winker (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Winker was lifted from Monday's contest due to back spasms and will be out of the starting nine for at least one game. It's unclear if the 28-year-old will be available off the bench, and he should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status. Jake Lamb will start in left field and bat cleanup.

Winker went 1-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Winker's third-inning blast off Angels starter Tucker Davidson gave the Mariners enough offense for the win. Across his last seven games, Winker has gone 6-for-20 (.300) with three homers, seven RBI and six runs scored. He should still see a majority of the playing time in left field, but the return of Mitch Haniger on Saturday and the expected activation of Julio Rodriguez (wrist) from the injured list this coming week could see Winker receive more days off. The 28-year-old outfielder has a .230/.349/.365 slash line with 11 homers, 41 RBI and 36 runs scored through 100 contests.

Winker is not in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Winker has handled lefties fairly well this season, but he will get a breather with the Mariners loading up on right-handed hitters against Angels starter Reid Detmers. Kyle Lewis will get the nod in left field, which could become a more common occurrence with fellow outfielder Mitch Haniger back in action.

Winker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Winker took Astros reliever Ryne Stanek deep in the eighth inning to tie the game at 2-2. Over his last 11 games, Winker has found himself in a 6-for-35 (.171) funk, but injuries to Julio Rodriguez (wrist) and Dylan Moore (back) should secure the veteran's role in the everyday lineup. Winker is slashing .226/.336/.349 with nine homers, 37 RBI, 31 runs scored and 14 doubles through 93 contests.

Winker went 1-for-3 with a double and a run in a loss to the Astros on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Winker laced an eighth-inning two-bagger off Justin Verlander and was subsequently brought home by a Julio Rodriguez double for the Mariners' only run of the night. Prior to the hit, the slumping outfielder had been mired in an 0-for-10 skid since returning from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury.
