Starling Marte Out Against Padres
2 years agoNew York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (neck) is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the visiting San Diego Padres. Marte will sit out after injuring his neck during a collision on a stolen base on Sunday against the Miami Marlins. The Mets are hoping that the 34-year-old will be available off the bench on Monday night, which means he could return to the lineup on Tuesday. Marte is off to a good start in 2023, going 10-for-33 (.303) with three doubles, a homer, two RBI, five runs scored and four stolen bases in 10 games played. If he can stay healthy, Marte should provide solid counting stats in runs, homers and stolen bases. Jeff McNeil is in right field and is batting third on Monday against Padres right-hander Yu Darvish, while Luis Guillorme is starting at the keystone and batting seventh.
