Sits versus southpaw Winker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact Winker holds a .699 OPS against lefties since 2021, so he will begin Friday's contest in the dugout against Tyler Anderson and the Angels. Rowdy Tellez will instead serve as Milwaukee's designated hitter, allowing Luke Voit to start at first base and bat sixth.

Returns to lineup Tuesday Winker (oblique) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Mariners.

Impact Winker will serve as the Brewers' designated hitter and bat second versus the Mariners and right-hander Logan Gilbert. He was scratched from Sunday's series finale against the Padres due to right oblique tightness and also sat out of Monday's series opener in Seattle.

Out with oblique tightness Winker (oblique) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Winker was scratched from the lineup before Sunday's game because of the tightness in his oblique, and he'll sit at least one more game. Brewers manager Craig Counsell did tell reporters that he could be available off the bench after going through pregame warmups, so there is a good chance Winker returns to the lineup in the coming days.

Scratched with oblique tightness Winker was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres due to right oblique tightness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact The 29-year-old returned to the lineup Saturday after he missed five games due to bronchitis, but he's now dealing with an oblique injury. Mike Brosseau will step into the lineup, and Winker should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Impact Winker will serve as the Brewers' designated hitter and bat second after missing five straight games because of an illness. He's tallied seven RBI in eight games when healthy this year.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On track for Saturday return Winker (illness) is expected to return to the lineup Saturday against the Padres, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact He is missing his fifth straight game Friday, but it sounds like he's almost over the illness. Winker should retain his strong-side platoon role at designated hitter, meaning he will likely start Sunday as well against Yu Darvish.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Misses fifth straight Winker (illness) isn't starting Friday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact With Winker approaching a week's worth of games missed, the Brewers might consider placing him on the injured list if he does not get healthy soon. Rowdy Tellez will serve as Milwaukee's DH, and Luke Voit will start at first base, batting sixth.

Sitting out third straight game Winker (illness) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Winker is sitting out for the third game in a row while he continues to battle an illness. The Brewers will open a four-game set in San Diego on Thursday, and if Winker isn't feeling healthy enough to join the team for the next stop of its road trip, a stint on the 10-day injured list could come into consideration.

APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Battling illness Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Winker has been "knocked out" by a sickness and has been kept away from the team, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact The reason for Winker's absence Monday has now been made clear, and it could also keep him out of Tuesday's lineup. The team will check on Winker closer to the start of the game, but there's no guarantee he's feeling better. If he does sit out again, Luke Voit figures to fill in as designated hitter.

APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
