Jesse Winker out of the Reds' lineup Friday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker is not in the lineup on Friday.

What It Means:

Winker has spent two of the last three games as the team's designated hitter, but with Cincinnati returning home on Friday to host the Nationals, Winker will head to the bench as no DH is available.

Our models project the rookie to bat .241 in just 41 plate appearances the rest of the season. Winker has 4 RBI and 3 hits in the first 11 plate appearances of his career.
