Steals streak at four games Winker went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's win over Atlanta.
Impact The 30-year-old has been arguably the biggest beneficiary this season of the Nationals' aggressive approach on the basepaths. Winker is up to a career-high 10 steals on the season, including a pilfer in four straight games, and over the last 12 games he's slashing .297/.386/.514 with two homers and six RBI.

Keeps running Wednesday Winker went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over Atlanta.
Impact The Nationals ran wild once again, stealing five bags as a team, and Winker has been a surprising contributor to that success on the basepaths. The 30-year-old came into 2024 with only three career steals in six attempts, but he's already 9-for-10 this year, including stolen bases in three straight games and four of the last five. Winker's bat is also coming back to life, and over the last 11 contests he's batting .303 (10-for-33) with two homers, five RBI and seven runs.

Swipes seventh bag Monday Winker went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's win over Atlanta.
Impact After being held out of Sunday's starting nine due to mild cramping in his quadriceps, Winker looked fully healthy Monday as he stole his seventh bag of the year. The 30-year-old was mired in a slump through the first half of May, but he appears to be heating up again -- over his last nine games, he's batting .296 (8-for-27) with a double, two homers, three steals, five RBI and six runs.
