New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (finger) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Miami Marlins. Surprisingly, Marte wasn't placed on the injured list after suffering a partial non-displaced fracture of his right middle finger, but he'll miss his third straight game.

Mac Jones, Patriots Offense Could Struggle

The New England Patriots offense looked out of sorts for most of training camp this summer. They had issues with basic plays, and their offensive line struggled to block.
