Held out Tuesday Winker (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Winker was lifted from Monday's contest due to back spasms and will be out of the starting nine for at least one game.

Experiencing back spasms Winker left Monday's game against the Yankees due to back spasms, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. He struck out in both of his plate appearances before departing.

Impact Winker will likely be re-evaluated Tuesday to determine his availability moving forward. Jake Lamb and Kyle Lewis would be the primary candidates to pick up playing time in place of Winker in the short term, though Sam Haggerty would likely be the frontrunner to serve as Seattle's top left fielder if Winker requires a stint on the injured list and if Julio Rodriguez (wrist) is activated from the IL on Wednesday or Friday, as is anticipated.

Leaves game early Winker was removed from Monday's game against the Yankees with an apparent back injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact The television crew caught Winker exiting the field during pitching change and mouthing the words "my back," but the team has yet to confirm the location of the injury. He'll be considered day-to-day until more information comes to light.

What could Mariners offense look like with a revitalized Jesse Winker? That was a question to ponder Sunday after Jesse Winker's third-inning grand slam loomed large in the Mariners' 6-3 victory over the Angels.

AUGUST 7 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Hits grand slam in win Winker went 1-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Angels.

Impact Winker's third-inning blast off Angels starter Tucker Davidson gave the Mariners enough offense for the win. Across his last seven games, Winker has gone 6-for-20 (.300) with three homers, seven RBI and six runs scored. He should still see a majority of the playing time in left field, but the return of Mitch Haniger on Saturday and the expected activation of Julio Rodriguez (wrist) from the injured list this coming week could see Winker receive more days off. The 28-year-old outfielder has a .230/.349/.365 slash line with 11 homers, 41 RBI and 36 runs scored through 100 contests.

Out of Game 2 lineup Winker is not in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels.

Impact Winker has handled lefties fairly well this season, but he will get a breather with the Mariners loading up on right-handed hitters against Angels starter Reid Detmers. Kyle Lewis will get the nod in left field, which could become a more common occurrence with fellow outfielder Mitch Haniger back in action.

Ties game with homer Winker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

Impact Winker took Astros reliever Ryne Stanek deep in the eighth inning to tie the game at 2-2. Over his last 11 games, Winker has found himself in a 6-for-35 (.171) funk, but injuries to Julio Rodriguez (wrist) and Dylan Moore (back) should secure the veteran's role in the everyday lineup. Winker is slashing .226/.336/.349 with nine homers, 37 RBI, 31 runs scored and 14 doubles through 93 contests.
