Starling Marte Getting Rest Day Sunday
2 years agoNew York Mets outfielder Starling Marte is getting a breather on Sunday as the team faces the Pittsburgh Pirates on the road. It's a good time for Marte to receive a day of rest, as he's started each of the team's last 17 games. He's off to a good start so far in the month of June, going 11-for-34 (.324) with a double, home run, two RBI and three stolen bases in nine games played. Marte has only three home runs in 60 games on the season, but he's already tied his stolen-base total from a year ago with 18, so his fantasy managers are certainly happy about that. The 34-year-old Dominican is currently riding a very modest four-game hitting streak. Mark Canha is playing right field on Sunday in Marte's absence and is hitting seventh against Pirates right-hander Mitch Keller.
