2023 Fantasy Outlook
Winker finally eclipsed the 500 plate appearance plateau in 2022, but he did so playing through back and leg troubles which impacted his overall numbers. Winker had reportedly disenfrachised some teammates throughout the process of the season with some of his actions with how he approached the game. It came as no surprise when Seattle sent him to Milwaukee for Kolten Wong in November. Winker has the opportunity for a fresh start in Milwaukee as he looks to re-establish his fantasy value as a disciplined hitter who limits self-inflicted damage at the plate. His Hard Hit Rate plummeted last year from the top 20th percentile in previous seasons to the bottom 20th percentile as he played through the aforementioned injuries, so the conditions are favorable for him to once again pursue a 20+ homer season. Milwaukee can, and should, use him as the regular DH to both keep him healthy and keep his terrible defensive abilities off the field as much as possible. Read Past Outlooks

Cleared for rehab assignment
Winker (neck) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Winker underwent neck surgery over the offseason and just over a week ago went on the injured list with a cervical strain. However, he's evidently feeling well enough to test things out in game action. Given his relatively brief period of down time, Winker shouldn't need many rehab contests before being activated.

Stat Review
How does Jesse Winker compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

When healthy, Winker enjoyed a breakout 2021 campaign, hitting .305/.394/.556 with 24 homers with 77 runs and 71 RBI. Alas, "when healthy" remains a critical phrase. Winker was limited to 110 games, and missed all but two of the last 46 games with an intercostal strain. It's not a coincidence the Reds went 21-25 over that stretch, despite a very friendly schedule over those last two months. Unfortunately, health issues are a feature with Winker, as he's never played more than 113 games in a season. When Winker is in the game he has two noteworthy flaws - a lack of speed and trouble hitting lefties. Even last year when he hit over .300, Winker still hit just .176/.288/.284 against southpaws, and he'll now lose the advantage of hitting at Great American Ball Park for half the year after being traded to the Mariners, and he'll instead be at the more pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park. One of these years Winker will defy the odds and play a full season, but do you feel confident that 2022 will be that year?
