Starling Marte Hitting Sixth On Tuesday
2 years agoNew York Mets outfielder Starling Marte is starting in right field and is hitting sixth in the lineup against the Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Luke Weaver on Tuesday. Because he's slumping, Marte will be bumped down to sixth on Tuesday. The 34-year-old veteran Dominican will take a hit in DFS with the move, but fantasy managers should probably be avoiding him anywhere because of his cold spell at the plate. In 30 games (121 plate appearances) so far this year, Marte is hitting just .213 (23-for-108) with four doubles, one home run, eight RBI, nine stolen bases and 11 runs scored. In six games to start the month of May, Marte has gone 4-for-23 (.174) with an RBI, walk and six strikeouts. His only home run came on April 7.
