Jesse Winkerwas removed from the first game of Sunday’s split doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals in the bottom of the fourth inning.
The Mets later announced that Winker was forced to exit due to right side discomfort.
Winker started in left field for the first time this season and was replaced defensively by Jeff McNeil, who moved from second base to the outfield.
In the bottom of the third inning, Winker caught a fly ball and made a throw home. The runner was safe at the plate, but Nolan Arenado ended up getting caught in a rundown to end the inning. It’s currently unknown if that play had anything to do with Winker exiting.
This is a developing story…
