Starling Marte May Miss Rest Of Regular Season
2 years agoNew York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (finger) still has no clear timetable for a return, and it could be probable that he will miss the final three games of the regular season this week and attempt to rejoin the team for the playoffs. Marte had a CT scan on Sept. 25 that "showed improved healing" in his finger, but his finger remained immobilized in a splint three days later. Manager Buck Showalter said on Oct. 1 that some of Marte's soreness has subsided, but not enough for him to grip a bat or ball yet. With the Mets now looking likely to play in the wild-card round that begins on Friday, Oct. 7, Marte might not even be ready for that weekend series. The 33-year-old veteran last played for the Mets on Sept. 6.
