Winker is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Southpaw DJ Herz is on the hill for the Nationals, so the left-handed-hitting Winker will grab a seat. Brandon Nimmo is playing left field for the Mets while Harrison Bader patrols center.

Winker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Southpaw Cristopher Sanchez is on the bump for the Phillies, so the lefty-hitting Winker will retreat to the bench. He'll be replaced in the outfield by Harrison Bader, who covers center field while Brandon Nimmo shifts over to left.

Winker isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. The left-handed bat of Winker will sit down to begin Saturday's game while fellow left-hander Kolby Allard starts on the mound for Philly. Brandon Nimmo, Harrison Bader and Starling Marte will make up the Mets' outfield unit while Winker rests.

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