New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte put together a two-hit game on Monday while scoring twice and driving in one, helping his team blow out the Houston Astros 11-1. He's now batting .295 in June and is sporting a .258/.313/.329 slash line with three homers, 31 runs, 20 RBI, and 19 stolen bases across 66 games this year. The strong month has prompted manager Buck Showalter to promote Marte back to the number two spot in the lineup, as he's batted second for the past five games after batting ...

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte is getting a breather on Sunday as the team faces the Pittsburgh Pirates on the road. It's a good time for Marte to receive a day of rest, as he's started each of the team's last 17 games. He's off to a good start so far in the month of June, going 11-for-34 (.324) with a double, home run, two RBI and three stolen bases in nine games played. Marte has only three home runs in 60 games on the season, but he's already tied his stolen-base total from a year ...

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (hand) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The 34-year-old missed Thursday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the hand on Wednesday. It doesn't appear that it was a serious issue as Marte is back in the lineup after a one-game absence. He'll cover right field and bat sixth versus righty Cal Quantrill on Friday. Fantasy managers should make sure to double check their lineups and get Marte back in there for this...

New York Mets manager Buck Showalter said that outfielder Starling Marte (hand) is out of Thursday's lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays after he was hit by a pitch in the hand on Wednesday. The Mets don't sound very concerned with Marte's injury, even though he was sent for X-rays. With Marte out Thursday, Jeff McNeill will handle right field and hit third in the lineup against Rays right-handed rookie Taj Bradley. The 34-year-old Marte has stolen 11 bases already this season in 39 games, but ...

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte is starting in right field and is hitting sixth in the lineup against the Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Luke Weaver on Tuesday. Because he's slumping, Marte will be bumped down to sixth on Tuesday. The 34-year-old veteran Dominican will take a hit in DFS with the move, but fantasy managers should probably be avoiding him anywhere because of his cold spell at the plate. In 30 games (121 plate appearances) so far this year, Marte is hitting just .213 ...

New York Mets right fielder Starling Marte is out of Sunday's lineup for the team's series finale against the Rockies. The 34-year-old could use the breather, and perhaps even a demotion from the lineup's two-hole for a bit. The two-time all-star hasn't registered a hit this series (0-for-7), compounding on a trying 7-for-41 stretch over the last two weeks of action. The speedy Marte isn't totally hurting fantasy rosters by collecting nine stolen bases this year, though, and managers hope the ...

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (neck) is back in the lineup on Saturday against the San Francisco Giants. The veteran outfielder missed the last two games with neck stiffness but is starting in right field and batting second against Giants starter Logan Webb. The 34-year-old Marte is slashing .222/.329/.333 with one home run, five RBI, and seven stolen bases over 63 at-bats this season.

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (neck) missed his second consecutive game in the 7-0 win over the Giants on Friday. He's dealing with neck stiffness, an injury that forced him out of Wednesday's matchup against the Dodgers. However, skipper Buck Showalter, speaking before Friday's victory, was hopeful Marte would return to the lineup on Saturday. It appears the veteran could be back relatively soon, even if it's not on Saturday. But considering he's battled the injury for a few weeks, ...

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (neck) left Wednesday's game early against the Los Angeles Dodgers with neck soreness. Marte dealt with a neck injury earlier this month as well, so although it doesn't seem like a serious injury, it could still land him on the injured list. Fantasy managers need to prepare for that possibility. Marte started in right field and went 0-for-3 in the game before being pulled early. The 34-year-old Dominican outfielder is off to a bit of a slow start in 2023,...
