Starling Marte off to slow start

by Christopher Arndt | Mets Correspondent | Sun, Apr 12th 8:10am EDT

Despite hitting his first home run of the season on Friday, Starling Marte is off to a slow start. He is batting just .167 in his first five games, including 0-2 with a walk on Saturday. With the outfield situation having some question marks of late, the Pirates need Marte to return to his Spring Training form.

Fantasy Impact:

Marte is going to be called upon to pick up some slack as Andrew McCutchen battles a sore knee. Don't sit Marte just yet, it is unclear how he will respond to a bigger role on the field and in the lineup.
