Winker is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS It's right-hander Kevin Gausman on the hill for Toronto, but the left-handed hitting Winker will yield to righty Starling Marte at designated hitter. Winker is off to a 2-for-13 start at the plate this season for the Mets.
