Winker has been on the bench for five straight games while dealing with flu-like symptoms, Tim Britton of the Athletic reports.
The 31-year-old was able to pinch hit Saturday, so the Mets don't seem to be contemplating an IL stint for Winker. He's batting .200 (5-for-25) to begin the season and is still looking for his first home run, but he should return to the strong side of a platoon at DH once healthy.
