Jesse Winker, who exited today's game after only one at-bat, was just cramping in his calf, per Carlos Mendoza. "He should be okay."

Fantasy Impact:

Winker’s .805 OPS this spring, despite a 0-for-1 exit Monday from a calf cramp, keeps him on track as the Mets’ primary DH versus righties, per Mendoza’s “should be OK” outlook. The 31-year-old’s role looks secure. Fantasy managers can roster him in deeper leagues, banking on his bat to deliver against right-handed pitching early in the season.
