6 years agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker is out of the lineup for a second straight game against the Oakland Athletics on Thursday. The left-handed Winker sat against left-handed pitcher Brett Anderson on Wednesday, which makes sense, but Oakland is throwing the right-handed Chris Bassitt on Thursday. The Reds haven't announced an injury, so the situation bears watching as Winker has nine home runs this season in a power breakout. Josh VanMeter is batting fifth and playing left field for Cincinnati but is a DFS fade until he shows something at the Major League level.--Nathaniel Green
