Cincinnati Reds right fielder Jesse Winker (33) walks to the dugout.
The Cincinnati Reds were humming right along until Jesse Winker hit the IL with an intercostal injury in mid-August. The loss of their All-Star outfielder has left the Redlegs searching for answers and finding none.
The Reds have lost seven consecutive series, including losses to the Pittsburgh Pirates, Detroit Tigers, and Chicago Cubs. Ouch! Winker was placed on the 10-day injured list back on August 15th. Since then, Cincinnati has gone 12-16 with only one series victory, a four-game sweep of the last-place Miami Marlins.
