Starling Marte News
New York Mets manager Buck Showalter said that outfielder Starling Marte (finger) won't return before Friday, which is the start of the wild-card series. "A little progress but not enough to think something is imminent," Showalter said. Newsday's Laura Albanese reports that Marte swung off a tee with both hands today, according to a team spokesman. "I don't think that got a real good return," Showalter said. Marte's current focus is pain/swelling management, and it still remains to be seen if he'll even be able to play in what will likely be the wild-card series for the Mets this weekend. Brandon Nimmo will continue to start in center field and serve as the team's leadoff hitter with Marte sidelined.
New 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.
New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte's fractured right middle finger remains immobilized and in a splint, and the Mets are still waiting for the swelling and discomfort to subside. Skipper Buck Showalter said, "not really," when asked if there was a target date for Marte's return. The 33-year-old veteran has been on the injured list for three weeks and is looking unlikely to return for fantasy managers before the end of the regular season. At this point, they're probably just trying to get ready for their postseason run. It's been a tough break for fantasy managers, as Marte had been providing numbers across the board with a .292/.347/.468 slash line, an .814 OPS, 16 home runs, 63 RBI, 76 runs and 18 stolen bases in 466 at-bats for the Mets.

Marlins outfielder Starling Marte was the benefactor of a deadline deal that saw him go from the hapless Arizona Diamondbacks to a suddenly-contending Miami squad. Marte was one of the lone bright spots in the desert, batting .311 through the first half of the season with a pair of homers, 14 RBI and five steals. Upon moving south, Marte's fantasy value actually took a slight hit as his average was a mere .245 and he scored 10 fewer runs in five fewer games with Miami. Despite playing on a team that finished fourth in stolen base attempts per game, Marte stole an equal number of bags at five. He is no longer a 20-HR threat, especially playing half his games at Marlins Park, but Marte does remain on the short list of players who could steal upwards of 20 bases in a full season while hitting for a consistently high average. His .261 xBA was a big step back from 2019 when he was among the league leaders with a .303 xBA. Between the chaos of the season and the midseason trade, we can expect that he will regress closer to his career mark with an average around .280 with strong R+RBI totals. Marte no longer has the ceiling to be considered a top-40 pick but he is a safe bat to secure help in all five categories around 50th overall.
