Mets' Jesse Winker: Absent from Game 3 lineup

Winker is not in the lineup Wednesday for Game 3 of the NLCS against the Dodgers.

Winker has typically been starting at designated hitter against right-handed pitching, but he will begin this one on the bench versus righty Walker Buehler. The Mets will go with J.D. Martinez at DH and in the No. 6 spot in the lineup.
