Mets' Starling Marte: Sitting out first game

Marte is not in the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Marte is in a 1-for-15 mini-slump over his last five games and has not homered since June 12. He will yield to Tyrone Taylor in right field for the first contest, with Harrison Bader patrolling center field.
