Jesse Winker Hitting Second Against Cubs
Jesse Winker is serving as the designated hitter and is batting second in the lineup on Opening Day on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs and right-hander Marcus Stroman. Christian Yelich is hitting in the leadoff spot for Milwaukee to kick off the 2023 season. Winker was mostly hurt in a disappointing season in 2022 with the Seattle Mariners, but he could bounce back in a nice situation for the Brew Crew. Shortstop Willy Adames is hitting third, with Rowdy Tellez in the cleanup spot. The 29-year-old left-handed-hitting Winker struggled in spring training by hitting .200 (5-for-25) with two doubles and one RBI, but he walked six times and struck out only three times in 10 Cactus League games.
