Player Outlook
Starling Marte was limited to only 86 games as he missed time due to migraines, then had his season end in early August due to a right groin issue. It's unclear if Marte's injury is related to the double-groin surgery he underwent in November 2022, but he reportedly does not need more offseason surgery and will be healthy in the spring. After posting a wRC+ between 108 and 134 the previous five seasons, Marte's 76 mark was a career low. Marte's batted ball skills were as good, or better than the previous two seasons where he posted a 132 and 134 wRC+. Marte's average exit velocity was its highest since 2019, and his hard-hit rate was a career best. Barrel percentage was down a bit, piggybacking hitting fewer fly balls. Marte was 24-for-28 in stolen base attempts. All signs point to a rebound but expecting a full bounce back from an injury-prone 35-year-old is a slippery slope. There are ample encouraging signs to take a chance, just don't bank on a full return, and have a backup plan at the ready.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Absent from Wednesday's lineup

    Marte is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Marte has received one day off per series since he returned from the injured list last month and that will continue Wednesday as he gets a breather for the series finale versus Boston. Tyrone Taylor will patrol right field for the Mets.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Two hits, stolen base in loss

    Marte went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Diamondbacks. Marte went down on strikes in each of his first two trips to the plate before reaching on an infield single in the top of the sixth and then stealing second. The outfielder would later come home on a sacrifice fly from Pete Alonso and also added a double in the eighth, marking his first multi-hit performance since returning from the injured list in mid-August. Marte has now hit safely in six of seven games since being activated, going 7-for-25 (.280) over that stretch with two doubles, two stolen bases and two runs scored.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Sitting Tuesday

    Marte is out of the Mets' lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks. Marte has appeared in six games since returning from the injured list, but Tuesday will be his third time out of the lineup since his return. As the outfielder gets eased back into action, Jesse Winker has the start in right field Tuesday, batting fifth.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Out of Thursday's lineup

    Marte isn't in the Mets' lineup Thursday versus the Padres. Marte has recorded a hit in all three games he's played in since returning from the injured list Sunday, but he'll sit down for Thursday's contest while the Mets continue to ease him back into action. Jeff McNeil will handle right field while Jose Iglesias starts at the keystone.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Taking seat Tuesday

    Marte is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles. Marte started in back-to-back games -- one against a RHP and one against a LHP --after being activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday but will take a seat Tuesday. The 35-year-old missed nearly two months with a bruised right knee, so it's likely that Tuesday is nothing more than a rest day for Marte. In his place, Jesse Winker will bat sixth and play right field.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Back from injured list

    The Mets reinstated Marte (knee) from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting in right field and batting fifth Sunday against the Marlins. The 35-year-old has been sidelined nearly two months due to a bruised right knee, but he'll rejoin the Mets after a five-game rehab assignment in the minor leagues. Marte was hitting well in June with an .817 OPS in 14 games prior to the injury and will look to pick up where he left off.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Could join Mets on Sunday

    Marte (knee) is scheduled to play nine innings for Triple-A Syracuse on Friday and could be activated Sunday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports. Manager Carlos Mendoza indicated that Marte would need to play at least seven innings in the field on back-to-back days before the Mets would feel comfortable bringing him back. After playing a full nine innings Thursday with Syracuse, he is slated to complete Mendoza's requirement Friday. Still, it's unclear how big of a role Marte will play once he's back with the big-league club, as deadline acquisition Jesse Winker, Jeff McNeil and Tyrone Taylor have all been making a contribution in right field.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Trending toward weekend return

    The Mets could activate Marte (knee) from the 10-day injured list as soon as this weekend, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Marte began a rehab assignment last Wednesday and has appeared in three games in the minors, going 2-for-7 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base. The first two of those games came at Single-A St. Lucie before he shifted his assignment to Double-A Binghamton on Sunday. Though Marte hasn't experienced any setbacks with the bone bruise in his right knee while on assignment, the Mets want him to get in some more action in the upper levels of the minors before reinstating him. More specifically, manager Carlos Mendoza said that Marte needs to play seven innings in right field on back-to-back days before the Mets would feel comfortable bringing back. Marte had been the Mets' everyday right fielder before he landed on the shelf June 25, but he may have to settle for a timeshare or even the short side of a platoon at the position after New York added the lefty-hitting Jesse Winker to its outfield ranks ahead of the trade deadline.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Begins rehab assignment

    Marte (knee) went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and two strikeouts Wednesday in the first game of his rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie. He hit an opposite-field single in his first at-bat and then stole second base. Marte started at designated hitter in this one and his rehab assignment is expected to move to Double-A Binghamton by the end of the week. Anthony DiComo of MLB.com speculates Marte could be ready to be activated Tuesday against the Athletics at the beginning of next week's homestand.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Nearing rehab assignment

    Marte (knee) hopes to launch a rehab assignment as soon as next week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Marte has been on the 10-day injured list since June 25 with a right knee bone bruise, but he appears to be nearing a return to game action. The 35-year-old had produced a .351 average with five extra-base hits, including a home run, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and four stolen bases over his final 57 at-bats prior to going down with the injury.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Hopes to resume running this week

    Marte (knee) is hoping to begin a running progression this week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Marte resumed baseball activities last week and is looking to continue to ramp up his rehab program. He has been shelved since late June with a right knee bone bruise and will require a rehab assignment before being activated, so the veteran outfielder would still appear to be several weeks away from a return.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Resumes baseball activities

    Marte (knee) played catch and hit off a tee Friday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports. The Mets have been taking it slowly with Marte's recovery from a right knee contusion that's sidelined him since June 22. The team will continue to ease him into action to try and avoid any setbacks for the oft-injured veteran, who hasn't played more than 120 games in a season since 2019.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Timeline remains uncertain

    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that Marte is without a timeline for a return from the 10-day injured list while his recovery from a bone bruise in his right knee remains "slow still," Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Nearly three weeks removed from landing on the IL on June 25, Marte is still dealing with pain in his knee and hasn't yet been cleared to resume baseball activities. The Mets had been hoping that Marte would be ready to come off the IL in around four weeks in a best-case scenario, but based on where he currently stands in his recovery, it's apparent that he'll need more time to heal up. On a positive note, Marte has been able to work out in the weight room while he's been sidelined, but a clearer target date for his return from the IL won't emerge until he's able to take part in hitting, running and fielding drills.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Sidelined at least four weeks

    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Marte (knee) will be sidelined for "at least four weeks," Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. Marte will be shut down for 15 days to allow a right knee bone bruise to heal and will need time to ramp things back up after that. A rehab assignment at some point before activation seems likely. Ben Gamel replaced Marte on the roster and could see some reps in right field, although DJ Stewart and Tyrone Taylor should be higher in the pecking order. Taylor is starting in right Tuesday after Stewart started there in the Mets' previous game Sunday.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Lands on IL with knee bone bruise

    The Mets placed Marte on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right knee bone bruise. Marte was given the diagnosis following an MRI and has been prescribed 15 days of rest. The hope is that he will be able to ramp back up after that point, but with two weeks of no activities, a return before the All-Star break seems unlikely. DJ Stewart and Tyrone Taylor will likely be the primary beneficiaries of Marte's absence.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Likely headed to IL

    Marte was advised Monday to rest for the next 15 days after being diagnosed with bone inflammation in his right knee, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. Marte was sent for an MRI on Monday after experiencing soreness in his right knee, and while the team has yet to confirm that he'll be placed on the injured list, that transaction will likely be made Tuesday. Marte will likely be re-evaluated following the 15-day shutdown period to determine the next steps in his recovery.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Sitting Sunday, MRI on Monday

    Marte (knee) is not expected to be in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs and will receive an MRI on Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. Marte was removed from Saturday's game with right knee soreness, an issue that's lingered throughout June. The Mets will give Marte a day to rest before sending him for imaging during Monday's team off day to see if there's any structural damage.

  • Mets' Starling Marte: Exits game with right knee injury

    Marte left Saturday's game against the Cubs due to a sore right knee, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports. Marte left after the first inning and was replaced by Tyrone Taylor in center field. It's the same knee that has been sore for Marte over the last few weeks. The Mets will hopefully provide some clarity on the severity of the injury following Saturday's game.
