Jesse Winker Injury: Likely headed to IL

Winker (side) is expected to be placed on the injured list, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Winker suffered a right side injury in the Mets' Game 1 loss to St. Louis on Sunday, and he will require additional testing back in New York. The outfielder may be dealing with an oblique issue, which typically leads to a stint on the injured list. In his absence, Starling Marte stands to see more usage at designated hitter with the Mets.
