Jesse Winker

The Yankees used major leaguers up until the ninth, when they brought in Jordany Ventura. Nimmo took advantage, hitting his first homer in his final at-bat of the spring. He played all nine innings in left field today, so his troublesome knee must be feeling pretty good. He'll likely spend some time at DH early on this season, but the Mets would certainly prefer to have Jesse Winker there and Nimmo in left field most days.

Winker exited Monday's game with cramping in his calf, but his absence from the lineup over the past few days was purely precautionary. He'll be ready to roll for the start of 2025.

Before the Mets take on the Houston Astros on Wednesday, manager Carlos Mendoza spoke briefly on a couple of topics, including the health of some of his injured players and what the plan is for closer Edwin Diaz this week.

Mets designated hitter/outfielder Jesse Winker exited Monday's split squad game against the Rays in the bottom of the third inning after his first at-bat as a precaution after dealing with cramps.
