Winker is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Winker's absence from the lineup is baffling, as the Reds are facing a right-hander in Chase Anderson and Winker is batting .305 with a team-best .414 on-base percentage this season (yes, even better than Joey Votto's mark). Unfortunately, it seems interim manager Jim Riggleman will continue with this outfield rotation for the time being instead of seeing what Winker can do with everyday playing time.

Winker is out of the lineup Thursday against the Braves, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Interim manager Jim Riggleman is stacking his starting nine with mostly right-handed bats to counter Atlanta lefty Sean Newcomb, resulting in lineup mainstays Winker and Scooter Gennett receiving the day off. Winker's move to the bench will open up a spot in the lineup for Billy Hamilton, who had sat out Wednesday as part of the Reds' four-man outfield rotation.

Winker is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Braves, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Winker is in the midst of a four-game hitting streak, and he's now hitting a respectable .283/.433/.321 on the season, but he'll head to the bench for Monday's series opener against the Braves after starting each of the previous five games in the outfield. He should continue to see occasional days off with the Reds deploying a four-man outfield rotation consisting of Winker and Monday's starters, Scott Schebler, Billy Hamilton and Adam Duvall.

Winker (shoulder) is playing right field and hitting second Tuesday against the Brewers, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic Cincinnati reports.

EDGE Analysis

Winker was absent from the starting lineup the past four days, but he did manage to pinch-hit in Monday's contest. It seems like his shoulder is back to 100 percent, so he'll resume his normal position in the Reds' starting lineup, at least until Scott Schebler (elbow) is back in action.

Winker (shoulder) made a pinch-hit appearance against the Brewers on Monday, drawing a walk in the eighth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Winker has now missed four consecutive starts with a sore right shoulder and his status for Tuesday is uncertain, but the Reds' willingness to use him off the bench suggests he is not in imminent danger of landing on the DL. The 24-year-old hasn't done much of note so far this season, but he is getting on base at a .413 clip, so he should continue to see starts atop the order against right-handed pitching.

Winker (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

It will be Winker's fourth straight game out of the lineup with shoulder soreness, though with the Reds facing a lefty in Brent Suter, there's a chance he would have sat regardless of his shoulder issue. Phillip Ervin will again start in right field.

Winker (shoulder) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Winker's sore right shoulder continues to bother him, so he'll take a seat for a third consecutive game. He remains a day-to-day case moving forward. Phillip Ervin draws the start in right field, batting eighth in his stead.

EDGE Analysis

Winker will remain on the bench for the second straight contest after being scratched from Friday's game due to right shoulder soreness. There hasn't been any word as to the severity of his injury, so consider the outfielder day-to-day for the time being. In his place, Phillip Ervin will man right field and bat seventh.

EDGE Analysis

Winker's removal from the lineup did wind up being injury-related, though it's unclear when it was incurred. Consider him day-to-day for now until a better timetable for his return is revealed. Phillip Ervin is filling in for him in right field Friday.

EDGE Analysis

No word has come forth as to whether or not an injury is in play, though information on that should come forth relatively soon. Phillip Ervin will take his spot in right field for the evening.
