New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a partial non-displaced fracture of his right middle finger. It is unfortunate timing for the 33-year-old, who will miss at least the next week after landing on the IL. Fantasy managers will miss his .292/.347/.468 slash line, 16 homers, and 18 swipes while he's gone. He still should be held onto wherever possible, but in some cases he can be dropped if the roster spot is needed in order to win a ...

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (finger) never attempted baseball activities before Friday's game, according to skipper Buck Showalter. Marte will try again on Saturday, with an injured list stint still a strong possibility. The 33-year-old veteran suffered a non-displaced fracture of his right middle finger after he was hit by a pitch on Tuesday, and the Mets initially listed him as day-to-day. If he can't get going this weekend, it seems likely they'll put him on the injured list to ...
