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

EDGE Analysis

Winker was held out of the starting nine Monday due to an illness, but he wound up making a pitch-hit appearance in the contest anyway. It seems like the day off was what he needed to get back to 100 percent, so he'll resume his expanded role in the Reds' outfield while Scott Schebler (elbow) is sidelined.

EDGE Analysis

It seemed strange that Winker would sit out given that a right-hander is throwing for Philadelphia and that Scott Schebler (elbow) is on the disabled list, but it appears that the sickness is to blame. The outfield prospect will likely need just a day or two to rest up before returning to the lineup, so consider him day-to-day for now. Phillip Ervin will move into the starting nine to replace him.

Winker went 1-for-2 with two walks, a run scored and one RBI Saturday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

With Scott Schebler out, Winker has enjoyed regular playing time leading off and playing right field. He has been impressive, posting a .538 on-base percentage. He has still yet to hit an extra-base hit in 18 at-bats but has the potential to score plenty of runs with consistent playing time so long as Schebler remains out of the lineup.

Expect to see Billy Hamilton hitting first versus southpaws. Through the first week of the year, Winker has gone 2-for-11 with five walks and five strikeouts.
