Marte (groin) indicated Friday that he's not close to a return and is unsure he'll make it back before the end of the season, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marte had indicated recently that he hoped to return to the Mets relatively quickly. However, he received another pain-killing injection in the right side of his groin earlier this week and was more guarded Friday when asked when he might make it back. The outfielder also didn't rule out additional surgery on his groin this offseason after having a pair last winter, saying "that's a conversation that's going to have to be had with the trainers." Marte has been limited to just 86 games this season, producing a lowly .625 OPS.

The Mets believe Marte's current groin injury could be related to his offseason core muscle surgery, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder underwent surgery last November to repair separated groin tendons, and while he returned in time for spring training, Marte simply hasn't looked 100 percent all season. While he does have 24 steals in 28 attempts, his .625 OPS is the lowest mark of his career by a significant margin. If lingering issues with his groin are the cause of his 2023 struggles, the Mets would at least have reason to believe he can return to form next season after resting and rehabbing over the winter. The 34-year-old has no timeline for his return, and with New York out of the playoff picture, the team has little incentive to push him back into the lineup down the stretch. Marte has two years and $41.5 million left on his contract after the current campaign.

Marte (groin) likely won't be activated off the injured list when eligible Wednesday and could embark on a rehab assignment, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marte landed on the injured list Monday and received an injection Tuesday in order to help speed up his recovery process. However, it seems that Marte's return date will still be pushed back, especially if he does end up playing a few games in the minors. There is still a chance Marte returns before the end of August, but he likely won't be urgently rushed back considering the Mets' current position in the postseason race.

Marte received an injection in his right groin Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marte was placed on the 10-day IL on Monday with a right groin strain, and his injection should allow him to resume "light activity" within the next few days. Because the Mets currently aren't in a position to contend for a playoff spot, there likely won't be any rush to get Marte back in the lineup. However, he still figures to return before the end of August.

The Mets placed Marte on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right groin strain, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marte returned from the IL on Friday after missing about two weeks while recovering from migraine headaches, but after going 0-for-8 in the first two games of the weekend series with the Orioles before sitting out Sunday's loss, the veteran outfielder now finds himself back on the shelf. The Mets haven't provided a timeline for Marte's return, but given the team's status as a non-contender along with the fact that the 34-year-old underwent offseason surgery to repair separated tendons in both of his groins, he looks like a strong bet to miss more than the minimum 10 days. Marte has provided value on the bases (24 steals in 28 attempts), but he's otherwise endured a rough second season in New York; he's slugged just five home runs and is batting a career-low .248.

Marte is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Marte started the past two games after missing a couple weeks with migraines, and he'll head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. DJ Stewart will start in right field and bat cleanup.

Marte (migraines) is expected to be activated from the injured list Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marte has been out since mid-July due to a series of migraine headaches, but he's been prescribed medication and is doing all baseball activities without issue. The veteran outfielder carries a weak .254/.308/.332 batting line in 333 plate appearances this season, but he can look to finish strong in the second year of a four-year, $78 million pact with the Mets.

Mets manager Buck Showalter said Marte (migraines) could be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marte participated in a full round of pregame batting practice Tuesday in Kansas City and is finally symptom-free following a string of migraine headaches. He's been on the shelf since mid-July and will be returning to a Mets club that got picked apart at the trade deadline.

Mets manager Buck Showalter said Thursday that Marte is still dealing with migraine headaches, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

They're at a "lesser scale" to the migraines that originally sent Marte to the injured list last week, per Showalter, but he may seek out a second opinion in the near future. The veteran outfielder is also anticipating the birth of a child in the coming days, so there's not much clarity as to when he might return to the Mets' active roster.

Mets manager Buck Showalter announced that Marte (migraines) will not be activated from the injured list when first eligible Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marte has been doing pregame drills without issue over the last few days after landing on the IL last week due to recurring migraine headaches, but he's expecting a child soon and will miss at least a portion of the Mets' upcoming four-game series against the Nationals, which begins Thursday night in Queens. Mark Canha and Jeff McNeil continue to share starts in right field.
