The team placed the left-handed hitter on the injured list Monday, following further testing in New York.<\/p><p>Winker sustained the injury during Sunday&rsquo;s 6&ndash;5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals while making a rare outfield appearance. The strain occurred when he attempted to throw out a runner at home on a sacrifice fly from Nolan Gorman, a throw that immediately left Winker clutching his side.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jesse Winker says he felt something amiss in his side when he threw the ball home in the third inning today <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7T3DluzPj2\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/7T3DluzPj2<\/a><\/p>&mdash; SNY (@SNYtv) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SNYtv\/status\/1919200198410063884?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 5, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>After an MRI in St. Louis showed concern, the Mets kept Winker off their flight to Arizona and sent him to New York for more comprehensive imaging.

While the 25-year-old infielder hasn&rsquo;t played since April 30 due to a sore right big toe, manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed he&rsquo;s arriving without limitations and ready to contribute. However, Baty isn&rsquo;t a direct replacement for Winker, the Mets instead view his addition as a chance to experiment with lineup flexibility and rotate bats through the DH slot.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/whats-next-for-mets-after-jose-siris-8-10-week-injury-absence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>What&rsquo;s Next for Mets After Jose Siri&rsquo;s 8&ndash;10 Week Injury Absence?<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Winker had been serving as the left-handed side of a DH platoon, with Starling Marte handling righty pitching.
