Player Outlook
Jesse Winker is a polarizing character on the field and in the clubhouse. He was an All-Star with the Reds in 2021 when he hit .305 with 24 homers, but in the years since he's bounced around from the Mariners to the Brewers to the Nationals to the Mets. There have been rumors that his boisterous antics may have worn thin with his teammates, although he seemed to fit in well in Queens, even if his numbers during that time weren't all that great. Childhood friend Francisco Lindor publicly endorsed Winker, which likely contributed to him re-signing on a one-year, $7.5 million contract. Winker, now 31, has always hit for a high average and OBP, but he has only reached 20 homers the one time. The 14 steals last season were a total surprise and should not be counted on again.

    Rotowire

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Exiting lineup Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Winker is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins. Though he typically starts against right-handed pitchers like the Marlins' Connor Gillispie, the left-handed-hitting Winker will check out of the lineup Tuesday to open up the designated-hitter role for Starling Marte. Winker has gotten off to a sluggish start to the season, hitting .208 with three extra-base hits (two triples, one double), four RBI and a 3:7 BB:K over 27 plate appearances.

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Three extra-base hits in win

    Rotowire
    Winker went 3-for-4 with a double, two triples and two RBI in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays. Winker's third extra-base hit and second triple of the game was the crucial knock in Saturday's win -- he launched a two-out, two-strike pitch from left-hander Brendon Little off the right-field fence to drive in a pair of runs, tying the game 2-2. Winker is now 5-for-17 (.294) with four RBI to start the year while holding down the strong side of a platoon at DH.

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Absent from lineup

    Rotowire
    Winker is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. It's right-hander Kevin Gausman on the hill for Toronto, but the left-handed hitting Winker will yield to righty Starling Marte at designated hitter. Winker is off to a 2-for-13 start at the plate this season for the Mets.

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Sitting against right-hander

    Rotowire
    Winker is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins. Though right-hander Cal Quantrill is on the bump for Miami, the left-handed-hitting Winker will take a seat, despite starting in both of the Mets' previous two matchups with righties. Starling Marte will step in for Winker as the Mets' DH and will handle leadoff duties.

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Back in lineup

    Rotowire
    Winker (calf) will serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals. Winker has been sidelined since exiting Monday's game early due to calf cramps, but the issue seems to have subsided ahead of Thursday's contest. The 31-year-old slashed .253/.360/.405 with 14 homers and 58 RBI in 508 regular-season plate appearances last year and has shown no signs of slowing down this spring, maintaining an .805 OPS through 13 Grapefruit League games.

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Nursing calf cramp

    Rotowire
    Winker exited Monday's Grapefruit League contest versus the Rays due to a calf cramp, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza indicated that Winker's removal was precautionary, adding that the 31-year-old "should be OK." Winker -- who was retired in his lone plate appearance Monday -- is sporting an .805 OPS this spring and projects to open the season as the Mets' primary designated hitter against right-handed pitching.

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Re-ups with NYM

    Rotowire
    The Mets agreed to terms on a contract with Winker on Thursday, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports. Joel Sherman of the New York Post says it's a one-year, $7.5 million deal that could reach $9 million if Winker hits incentives. Winker had a solid bounce-back showing in 2024 between the Nationals and Mets, collecting a .764 OPS with 14 homers and 14 steals during the regular season before adding another long ball and a 1.168 OPS in 10 postseason contests. The 31-year-old should see fairly regular reps against righties between designated hitter and left field.

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Back at DH for Game 5

    Rotowire
    Winker will start at designated hitter and bat fifth Friday in Game 5 of the NLCS against the Dodgers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. He sat in favor of J.D. Martinez in Games 3 and 4, but Winker will be back in there Friday as the Mets try to stave off elimination. The 31-year-old is 2-for-7 with a 2:2 BB:K at the plate during the NLCS.

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Sitting out again in Game 4

    Rotowire

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Absent from Game 3 lineup

    Rotowire

Martinez at DH and in the No. 6 spot in the lineup.

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Beginning on bench Sunday

    Rotowire
    Winker is not in the Mets' lineup for Sunday's Game 2 of the NLDS against the Phillies. Winker started at DH in Game 1 of the series and went 0-for-1 with two walks before J.D. Martinez pinch hit for him in the eighth inning. Martinez is starting at DH on Sunday as the veterans continue to split time at the position. Sunday will be Martinez's second start at DH in the postseason, while Winker has started three times.

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Absent from Game 2 lineup

    Rotowire
    Winker is not in the lineup Wednesday for Game 2 of the National League Wild Card Series in Milwaukee, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: In Game 1 lineup

    Rotowire
    Winker (back) will start at designated hitter and bat sixth Tuesday in Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series versus the Brewers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Winker didn't see any action in the final four games of the regular season while nursing a minor back injury, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in the first game of the postseason. He went just 3-for-42 at the plate in September.

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Included on wild-card roster

    Rotowire
    Winker (back) is on the Mets' roster for the National League Wild Card Series against the Brewers. Winker did not play in the final four games of the regular season while battling a back injury, but the Mets have deemed him healthy enough to be part of their roster for the first round of the playoffs. What is not yet clear is whether Winker will be in the lineup for Game 1 versus righty Freddy Peralta.

  • Mets' Jesse Winker: Nursing back injury

    Rotowire
    Winker is uncertain to be included on the Mets' wild-card roster due to a back injury, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Winker didn't play in the Mets' final four games, including the last three against right-handed pitching. He was spotted Monday with his back taped up, suggesting that could be the reason for his recent absence. If Winker is unavailable, J.D. Martinez could become the Mets' regular designated hitter again. Brett Baty is with the Mets on their taxi squad and is likely to be added to the active roster if Winker is a no-go.
