Winker was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

With a roster spot opening up following the trade of Tony Cingrani to the Dodgers, Winker will return to the majors. The 23-year-old outfield prospect continues to flash excellent contact hitting in Triple-A (.314 batting average, 85 percent contact rate), but his power still hasn't developed, as he has just two home runs on the season for the Bats. Despite this, he could see some run in right field in the immediate future with Scott Schebler's shoulder still causing him some problems.
