Winker is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Though right-hander Bowden Francis is on the hill for Toronto, the lefty-hitting Winker will find himself as the odd man out of the lineup Wednesday. Between the outfield and designated hitter, the Mets have four spots available in their regular lineup for five players (Winker, Brandon Nimmo, Harrison Bader, Starling Marte and J.D. Martinez), so manager Carlos Mendoza will likely rotate off days among that group. Through nine games in September, Winker has gone 2-for-22 with seven strikeouts, so he could end up sitting more frequently than the other four players if he's unable to break out of his funk at the plate.

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

EDGE Analysis

Winker had started in each of the Mets' last six matchups -- all against right-handed pitching -- and went 1-for-18 with six strikeouts. The Mets have been running a four-man committee in the outfield of late with Winker, Brandon Nimmo, Starling Marte and Harrison Bader all vying for playing time. Winker will continue to sit regularly versus lefties, and he could find himself out of the mix versus right-handers more frequently if he's unable to break out of his funk at the plate.

Winker went 1-for-3 with a walk, a grand slam and a second run scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old took Tanner Houck deep in the first inning, giving the Mets an early lead they would never relinquish. Winker has been a strong addition to the New York lineup as the team pushes for the playoffs -- in 30 games since being traded by the Nationals to their NL East rivals, he's slashing .306/.341/.471 with three homers, 12 runs and 13 RBI.

Winker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis
