Mets acquire veteran outfielder Jesse Winker from Nationals The Mets have just made a trade with one of their division rivals.

JULY 28 • NYPOST.COM

Jesse Winker - Dealt to Mets The Nationals and Mets agreed to a trade Saturday contingent upon players passing physicals that will send Winker to New York, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Assuming all players involved are medically cleared, Winker will bolster the Mets' corner outfield depth and could see some action at DH. In Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo, the Mets already have a pair of quality lefty-handed bats in the corner outfield positions, and J.D. Martinez has been the team's everyday DH, leaving Winker's immediate role up in the air. Winker is batting .257 on the year with 11 homers, 14 steals, 51 runs and 45 RBI.

Jesse Winker - Dealt to Mets The Mets acquired Winker from the Nationals on Saturday in exchange for right-hander Tyler Stuart, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Winker will bolster the Mets' corner outfield depth and could see some action at designated hitter on the occasions that J.D. Martinez is getting rets. In Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo, the Mets already have a pair of left-handed bats in the corner outfield, but McNeil could move back to the keystone to clear room in the outfield for Winker. After joining the Nationals on a one-year deal in February, Winker has hit .257 with 11 home runs, 14 steals, 51 runs and 45 RBI in 379 plate appearances.

Harrison Bader - Out again Saturday Bader (ankle) isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game versus Atlanta.

Impact Saturday will mark Bader's fourth consecutive missed start since suffering a rolled ankle during Tuesday's contest. The Mets have not indicated that the 30-year-old is trending toward a stint on the injured list, though that could change if his condition doesn't improve soon. Jeff McNeil, Brandon Nimmo and DJ Stewart will start across the outfield Saturday.

Francisco Alvarez - Getting breather Saturday Alvarez isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Alvarez broke his streak of 20 games without a home run by hitting a solo shot during Friday's contest, and he'll now take a seat while Luis Torrens catches for Tylor Megill.

Kodai Senga - Ruled out for rest of season Manager Carlos Mendoza said Saturday that he expects Senga (calf) to miss the rest of the regular season, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Impact Senga was diagnosed with a high-grade calf strain Saturday, and an 8-to-10-week return timeline virtually guarantees the start he made Friday will be his only appearance of the year. The Mets skipper left open the possibility of a postseason return for the 31-year-old righty, but that will likely depend on how he's able to progress through his rehab program.

Now without their ace, the Mets will likely be active in the market for starting pitchers ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.

Mets blast into NL's top wild-card spot. Is more help on the way? New York has checked in on left-handed batters, including former Mets outfielder Michael Conforto.

Kodai Senga - Back on injured list The Mets placed Senga on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left calf strain.

Impact Senga missed the first four months of the year due to injuries to his right shoulder and triceps, and his season debut was cut short Friday after he strained his calf in the sixth inning. He's slated to receive an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of his injury, but the Mets have already deemed the situation significant enough to warrant another trip to the IL. Tylor Megill, who is filling in for Christian Scott (elbow), will claim the open roster spot, though the Mets have yet to name a replacement for Senga's place in the rotation.

Tylor Megill - Recalled ahead of start The Mets recalled Megill from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of his start Saturday versus Atlanta.

Impact With Christian Scott set to miss some time due to an elbow injury, Megill will now return to the majors in order to fill the opening in New York's rotation. The 28-year-old allowed 12 earned runs in 13.1 innings across his last three starts in the big leagues, but he has improved since moving to Triple-A (4.05 ERA in 13.1 IP) and will be greeted Saturday by an Atlanta offense that ranks 21st in MLB with 428 runs scored on the year. Kodai Senga (calf) was placed on the 15-day IL to open a spot on the active roster.

Eric Orze - Optioned to Triple-A The Mets optioned Orze to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

Impact Just a day after rejoining the big-league club, Orze will now head back to Triple-A in order to make room for Ryne Stanek, who was acquired from Seattle on Friday. The 26-year-old Orze has allowed four earned runs in just 1.2 innings with the Mets this season, but he owns a 3.40 ERA through 42.1 frames with Syracuse and could still be an option to return to New York later in the year if the team needs a fresh bullpen arm.

Mark Vientos - Strong month continues Vientos went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Friday's win over Atlanta.

Impact The third baseman slugged a two-run homer off Charlie Morton in the third inning, one of three Mets long balls in the frame. Vientos has put together an impressive July, slashing .293/.341/.520 over 20 games with five doubles, four homers and 13 RBI as he solidifies his hold on the starting job at the hot corner.

Francisco Alvarez - Ends power drought Alvarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over Atlanta.

Impact His third-inning shot off Charlie Morton capped a seven-run frame for the Mets and chased the veteran right-hander from the game. Alvarez snapped a 20-game home drought with the blast, a stretch in which he batted just .215 (14-for-65) with five RBI. Despite the power outage, the 22-year-old backstop has an impressive .273/.342/.448 slash line on the season in 51 contests.

J.D. Martinez - Leads charge with grand slam Martinez went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 8-4 win over Atlanta.

Impact The veteran slugger got the fireworks started with a grand slam off Charlie Morton in the third inning, his 11th home run of the season and one of three Mets long balls in the frame. Martinez snapped an 18-game homer drought with the blast, but his bat has been coming around since the All-Star break -- over his last seven games, he's gone 9-for-29 (.310).
