New York Mets outfielder/designated hitter Jesse Winker will be out six to eight weeks because of a right oblique strain, manager Carlos Mendoza said on Monday. The Mets placed Winker on the 10-day injured list.

Jesse Winker returned to New York on Monday for further tests on his oblique injury, the results of which were not encouraging.

With designated hitter Jesse Winker dealing with what’s likely an oblique injury, infielder Brett Baty is rejoining the New York Mets from Triple A, league sources confirmed. SNY first reported the move.
