2024 Fantasy Outlook
Winker struggled in 2022 for Seattle with a .688 OPS, and he was even worst last season after being shipped to Milwaukee with a .567 OPS. He played in just 61 games for the Brewers due to injuries and said his struggles stemmed from the recoveries of multiple surgeries last offseason, but two straight poor campaigns can't be ignored. The veteran slugger was an All-Star for the Reds in 2021 with a 143 OPS+ and is still only 30 years old, so there's still plenty of runway to turn things around. Winker landed a minor-league contract with Washington during the offseason, which is probably an ideal landing spot in terms of potential playing time in 2024. A spot on the Opening Day roster is realistic with a decent showing in camp. Read Past Outlooks
Homers, reaches base four times
Winker went 2-for-2 with two walks, a three-run home run, a double and an additional run scored during Sunday's 11-8 win over the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Winker entered the game in a 1-for-21 skid but broke the skid with a couple of extra-base hits, including a three-run homer off Blue Jays starter Alek Manoah that put the cap on a five-run fourth inning for the Nats. The homer was the fourth of the season for Winker, who also later added his seventh double. He's slashing .254/.372/.421 with four homers, 18 RBI, 18 runs and three stolen bases over 131 plate appearances.

How does Jesse Winker compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extended ramp-up to camp
Winker has been working out at the Brewers' spring training facility in Arizona since he was cleared for baseball activities in mid-January, reports Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
Winker underwent offseason surgery to repair the meniscus in his left knee and also had a disc replacement procedure in his neck, so his extended work ahead of spring training is an encouraging sign for the start of camp. The 29-year-old is expected to primarily serve as the designated hitter early in the year but could see more outfield work as the summer progresses. Regardless of whether or not he's playing the field, Winker will need to bounce back from the career-worst .688 OPS he posted for the Mariners last season.

Winker finally eclipsed the 500 plate appearance plateau in 2022, but he did so playing through back and leg troubles which impacted his overall numbers. Winker had reportedly disenfrachised some teammates throughout the process of the season with some of his actions with how he approached the game. It came as no surprise when Seattle sent him to Milwaukee for Kolten Wong in November. Winker has the opportunity for a fresh start in Milwaukee as he looks to re-establish his fantasy value as a disciplined hitter who limits self-inflicted damage at the plate. His Hard Hit Rate plummeted last year from the top 20th percentile in previous seasons to the bottom 20th percentile as he played through the aforementioned injuries, so the conditions are favorable for him to once again pursue a 20+ homer season. Milwaukee can, and should, use him as the regular DH to both keep him healthy and keep his terrible defensive abilities off the field as much as possible.
