Jesse Winker Scratched Late Friday
3 years agoSeattle Mariners outfielder Jesse Winker was originally in the lineup to face Houston Astros right-hander Justin Verlander but was taken out for unspecified reasons. This move doesn't seem strategic, as Winker has been much better against righties in his career. There should be more details soon, but for now, get Winker out of your lineup if you still can. Adam Frazier will move to left field and lead off for the Mariners in place of Winker, with Sam Haggerty filling in at second base.
