Mets' Jesse Winker to travel back to New York after right side injury, with IL stint likely

Mets left fielder Jesse Winker will fly back to New York instead of traveling with the team to Arizona after leaving the first game of a doubleheader at St.

Jesse Winker, the New York Mets' outfielder, was placed on the injured list due to a rib injury sustained during a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 17, 2023. The injury occurred when Winker was attempting to catch a ball and collided with the outfield wall, resulting in what was described as a "right proximal intercostal strain." The Mets made this announcement on April 18, 2023, and in a corresponding move, they recalled outfielder Tim Locastro from Triple-A Syracuse to take Winker's spot on the roster. Winker, who had been struggling at the plate with a .239 batting average, is expected to be out for several weeks, impacting the Mets' lineup as they navigate the early part of the season.
