ST. LOUIS -- Mets left fielder Jesse Winker had an MRI on Sunday after leaving the first game of New York's doubleheader at St. Louis with right side discomfort.
Manager Carlos Mendoza said Winker was injured while making a throw in the third inning of the Mets' 6-5 loss.
"On the right side in the oblique area, he got hurt on the throw to home plate," Mendoza said. "So, we'll see what we're dealing with here."
Mendoza acknowledged there's always concern when the word oblique is mentioned.
"When you hear that area, those are tricky," Mendoza said.
