Jesse Winker News
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jesse Winker (neck) is almost ready for a rehab assignment, which is scheduled to begin on Wednesday with Triple-A Nashville, according to MLB.com. The slugger hasn't been in game action since May 27 after suffering a cervical strain and hitting the 10-day injured list on May 30. Before the ailment, Winker was struggling mightily at the plate, slashing .204/.315/.231 with no home runs across 39 games. He now owns a .216 batting average and .661 OPS since the start of 2022, and fantasy managers with limited roster spots may want to let him loose.
The Milwaukee Brewers placed outfielder Jesse Winker (neck) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 28) on Tuesday with a cervical strain and recalled infielder Abraham Toro from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Winker, who has had a brutal year to this point in his first year in Milwaukee, figures to miss extensive time with this injury. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter has limped to a .204 average (22-for-108) with three doubles, no home runs, 13 RBI, 11 runs scored, 15 walks and 31 strikeouts in 127 trips to the plate over 39 games. Given how bad he's been this year, Winker has probably already been dropped in the majority of mixed fantasy leagues. Toro should operate as corner infield depth while he's with the Brew Crew.
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/designated hitter Jesse Winker (neck) has been scratched with neck discomfort. Winker was in the original lineup, serving as the DH and batting sixth, against the San Francisco Giants but was scratched late. It'll now be Darin Ruf serving as the Brewers' DH and batting eighth against San Francisco starter Alex Cobb.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker had a 2021 season that many fantasy managers had been waiting for. The 28-year-old slashed .305/.394/.556 with 24 home runs, 71 RBI, and 77 runs scored over 485 plate appearances. He was able to bring his strikeout rate down to 15.5%, which aligned with his career 16.5% mark much closer than his 2020 value of 25.1%. He also continued to hit the ball hard and produced a solid Statcast batted-ball profile across the board. The two lingering issues for Winker, which have plagued him throughout his career were injuries and the inability to hit left-handed pitching. He served several stints on the injured list with intercostal strains and slashed just .176/.288/.284 against lefties over 118 PA. The encouraging thing is that Winker was such a valuable fantasy option despite all of that, and he could be even more valuable if he stays healthy and/or hits even slightly better against lefties in 2022. Fantasy managers seem to be buying into Winker's potential, as his current ADP is about 109 overall, making him the 31st outfielder off the board. This seems like a reasonable position given his high potential upside and the relative lack of upside compared to other options around that point in drafts.
