Winker went 1-for-3 with two walks in a loss to the Twins on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Winker turned in a productive effort befitting of his leadoff role, yet none of the hitters behind him were able to drive him in during his three times on base. The veteran outfielder continues be saddled with an ugly .208/.319/.303 slash line, but he's now reached safely in five straight games, albeit with just one extra-base hit during that span.

Winker went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Winker tied the game at 2-2 in the fifth inning, with his homer ending Red Sox starter Rich Hill's night. This was the first time Winker has hit safely in consecutive games since May 19 and 20. The outfielder has a .209/.313/.308 slash line with four homers, 24 RBI, 18 runs scored and nine doubles through 57 contests overall. Despite the lackluster numbers, he appears locked in as the Mariners' main leadoff hitter.

Winker went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, two walks and a run in a win over the Astros on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Winker continues to find success at the plate mostly fleeting during his first Mariners season, as Wednesday's productive effort still leaves his season slash line at an uninspiring .209/.315/.296. However, Winker sports an impressive 13.7 percent walk rate, typically modest 15.8 percent strikeout rate and solid 21.9 percent line-drive rate, which, when factored alongside a career-low .240 BABIP, support the notion he'll eventually ascend much closer to the career .288/.385/.504 slash line he entered 2022 with.

The long ball Saturday was Winker's first since May 14, and he only had four doubles between those homers. The power has been lacking for the outfielder in his first year with the Mariners -- he's slugging just .314 in 52 contests. He's up to three homers, 21 RBI, 16 runs scored and nine doubles for the season.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners' first loss to the Athletics in 14 games was a mixed bag for Winker, who was productive out of the leadoff spot but also committed a fielding error that allowed the go-ahead run to score in the seventh inning. Winker's current .219/.310/.300 slash line is still falling well below expectations based on his previous body of work, but he's shown a bit more life at the plate recently by reaching safely in 10 of his last 11 games.
