Starling Marte

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte could be limited in spring training.

Fantasy Impact

Mets GM Billy Eppler reported Marte's recovery from offseason core surgery has him in wait-and-see mode. It's also possible the 34-year-old participates for a loaded Dominican Republic squad in the upcoming World Baseball Classic that kicks off March 8. Marte hit .292 with 16 home runs and 18 stolen bases across 118 games in his first season with the Mets in 2022.

Starling Marte (hand) took swings off of a tee Monday but was unable to do any further baseball activities.

Fantasy Impact

Buck Showalter didn't seem optimistic about Marte returning soon to the lineup, and the chance of Marte returning in the regular season seems slim. Tyler Naquin will continue to fill in for Marte.

Starling Marte (finger) will try to hit and throw once again Wednesday. He hopes to be ready for the Mets' series against the Braves starting October 1st.

Fantasy Impact

Marte attempted to hit and throw last week but wasn't able to due to his fractured finger. He shouldn't need much time away once he does feel good enough to swing a bat, but it's unclear if he will be able to do that soon. The Mets could play it cautiously with Marte, but it does seem like they very much want him back before the end of September.

Starling Marte was placed on the 10-day IL Saturday with a fractured right middle finger.

Fantasy Impact

Marte has been out of the Mets' lineup since Tuesday when he suffered the injury after being hit by a pitch. The IL date is backdated to Wednesday, which makes Marte eligible to return next Saturday.

Starling Marte will miss Saturday's game against the Marlins after suffering a finger injury on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Marte was hit on his right middle finger by a pitch on Tuesday and has a partial non-displaced fracture. Marte is still yet to return to the lineup but has not been placed on the Injured List at this time.
