The Mets are getting a jolt ahead of Tuesday's game against the Orioles in Baltimore, with Jesse Winker being activated from the IL, reports SNY's Andy Martino.
With Winker being added to the active roster, the Mets will have to make a corresponding move.
Martino reports that it will not be Ronny Mauricio getting sent down to make room for Winker. Mauricio has reached base safely in his last nine games, slashing .370/.452/.556 during that span.
Starling Marte is again dealing with a knee issue, so it's possible the Mets place him on the IL.

Winker last played on May 4, which is when he suffered an oblique injury that threw New York's designated hitter situation into disarray.
He wasn't crushing it at the plate before he got injured, but he was solidly above average, with an OPS+ of 112.
