Starling Marte News
As expected, the New York Mets activated outfielder Starling Marte from the bereavement list on Tuesday and optioned infielder Mark Vientos to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. However, Marte won't make the start on Tuesday versus the visiting Chicago Cubs, with DJ Stewart in right field and batting seventh against Cubs right-hander Javier Assad. The 35-year-old Marte will miss his fourth straight game but should be back in the lineup on Wednesday for the Mets. He's managed to stay healthy so far this year and is hitting a strong .288 (30-for-104) with four home runs, 12 RBI, six stolen bases and 16 runs scored in his first 25 games. Stewart has never faced Assad in his career and is hitting just .200 so far with three home runs for the Mets.
The New York Mets expect outfielder Starling Marte to return from the bereavement list on Tuesday, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. Marte is missing his third straight game on Monday against the Chicago Cubs after being placed on the bereavement list on Saturday. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Tuesday, but the 35-year-old veteran should be back in New York's starting lineup to face Cubs right-hander Javier Assad. Tyrone Taylor, who is making a third straight start on Monday with Marte away from the team, will head back to the Mets' bench when Marte returns. Marte has been able to stay healthy so far in 2024 and has been solid for his fantasy managers with a .288 batting average (30-for-104) with four home runs, 12 RBI, six stolen bases and 16 runs scored in 25 games.
The New York Mets have placed outfielder Starling Marte on the bereavement list while infielder Mark Vientos has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to take his spot on the active roster. The 35-year-old has been off to a hot start this season, hitting .288 with four home runs, six stolen bases, and a .769 OPS across 111 trips to the plate, good for a 119 wRC+ that sits 19% above the league average. Marte plummeted down draft boards after a 2023 season that saw him hit .248 with only five homers alongside 24 stolen bases and a .625 OPS across 86 games in 2023, by far the worst offensive season of his career. However, he has rewarded managers who bet on a bounce back in drafts this spring.

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte has been one of the most valuable fantasy assets over the last decade. Since 2014, he has the second most stolen bases. However, the veteran has struggled to stay on the field lately. He played in only 86 games, missing time due to migraines and a groin injury. The 35-year-old's offensive numbers were underwhelming, slashing just .248/.301/.324 with 78 hits and five home runs. Despite poor production at the plate, he still managed to steal 24 bases. His days of elite fantasy production might be behind him. Even so, Marte can still rack up steals when healthy. Currently, his NFBC ADP is around 233. ATC projections have him slashing .261/.321/.391 with 11 HRs and 25 SBs in 113 games, making him a solid value pick for fantasy managers needing speed in the later rounds of their drafts.
