Winker went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit, solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Winker chose quite a time to hit his first home run with the Mets -- the outfielder led off the bottom of the ninth with an opposite-field shot off Seranthony Dominguez, giving New York a 4-3 victory. While Winker hadn't been hitting for much power before Wednesday, he's gone a respectable 15-for-52 (.288) in 18 games with the Mets while filling the strong side of a platoon in right field. However, Starling Marte's return could cut into Winker's playing time down the stretch. Overall, Winker's slashing .262/.367/.414 this season across 433 plate appearances between New York and Washington with 12 homers, 49 RBI, 56 runs scored and 14 stolen bases.

Winker is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll head to the bench while southpaw Cole Irvin toes the rubber for the Orioles, the lefty-hitting Winker could be in store for fewer opportunities against right-handed pitching following Starling Marte's recent return from the injured list. Since being acquired from the Nationals at the trade deadline, Winker has produced a weak .616 OPS.

Winker went 1-for-2 with a walk and one run scored in Monday's 15-2 win against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
After being acquired from the Nationals on Sunday, Winker drew his first start with the Mets in right field while hitting fifth. The veteran outfielder walked and then scored on a Jeff McNeil single in the fourth in his second plate appearance before lacing a single off Cole Sands in the fifth inning. Winker is now hitting .258 with 11 homers and 14 steals this season and should garner starts in the middle of the Mets' lineup against right-handed pitching.
