In 89 games, Winker batted .299/.405/.431 with seven home runs and 43 RBIs. In the ninth inning of Monday’s 2-1 win over the Cardinals, he had to dive to the ground while running to second base to avoid being struck by a Tucker Barnhart line drive. He was officially diagnosed with a right shoulder subluxation.
