New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (knee), who is on the 10-day injured list with a bone bruise in his right knee, will fly with the Mets to Anaheim to continue working with team trainers this weekend before joining Single-A St. Lucie on Monday on a rehab assignment. Marte expects to join Double-A Binghamton for more minor-league rehab games by the end of next week. Barring a setback, the 35-year-old veteran outfielder should rejoin the big-league lineup around the middle of August. Because he's been out since late June, the Mets are going to give him plenty of at-bats in the minors to get his timing back at the plate. When he's ready, Marte will return to starting duties in right field in Queens. Before his knee injury, he was slashing a strong .278/.328/.416 with seven home runs, 30 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 245 at-bats.
New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (knee) said on Tuesday he hopes to start a minor-league rehab assignment as soon as next week. After resting his right knee over the All-Star break, Marte began a running progression this past weekend and is progressing toward returning to game action. He's still unlikely to rejoin the Mets until sometime in mid-August, but fantasy managers should make sure the 35-year-old former All-Star isn't floating around on any waiver wires at this point in his recovery from a bone bruise. Before going down, Marte was producing well across the board while batting .278 (68-for-245) with seven home runs, 30 RBI, 38 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases over 66 games as New York's primary right fielder. With the addition of Jesse Winker to a crowded outfield in Queens, however, it remains to be seen if Marte will return to an everyday role upon his eventual reinstatement from the injured list.
New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (knee), who is on the 10-day injured list with a bone bruise in his right knee, said he hopes to begin a running program this week. Marte also expects to need a minor-league rehab assignment before he's reinstated from the IL, so he is still a ways away from rejoining the big-league lineup. The 35-year-old veteran continues to ramp up his activities after starting baseball activity last week, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him back until at least early August. Marte has been away from the Mets since late June and will eventually return to a .278/.328/.416 slash line with seven home runs, 30 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 38 runs scored as the team's starting right fielder. In Marte's absence, the Mets have been using a combination of DJ Stewart, Tyrone Taylor and even Jeff McNeil in right field.
New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (knee) played catch and hit off a tee on Friday as he continues to make progress from a right-knee contusion that he suffered on June 22. Marte's rehab process has been slow, but he's getting closer to a return in the second half of the season for the Mets. Because the Mets are taking their time with the 35-year-old veteran outfielder, there is no timetable for his return, and he almost certainly won't be back with the big-league club until sometime in August. Until he's able to return, the Mets will use some combination of Jeff McNeil, DJ Stewart and Tyrone Taylor in center field. Marte is no longer in the prime of his career and has become an injury risk, but he was still hitting a solid .278/.328/.416 with seven home runs, 30 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 38 runs scored for New York in 66 games before his knee injury.
New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (knee) is reportedly making slow progress in his recovery efforts, according to Mets manager Carlos Mendoza. Marte has been sidelined since late June due to a bone bruise in his right knee. He has been getting daily treatment, but it looks like he'll need more time than expected. Fantasy managers might be without Marte until possibly August. In the meantime, Tyrone Taylor figures to see more time in right field until Marte makes his return.
