Marte (neck) will bat second and play right field Saturday against the Giants, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marte left Wednesday's game against the Dodgers with neck stiffness and hasn't played since, though the injury didn't seem to be a particularly serious one. The veteran outfielder hasn't gotten off to the best start at the plate this season, slashing .222/.329/.333 through 18 games, but he's already stolen seven bases.

Mets manager Buck Showalter told reporters before their game against the Giants that Marte (neck) could be available off the bench for Friday's game, and he could return to the starting lineup Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marte is missing another game due to neck stiffness against the Giants on Friday, but it sounds like this is more precautionary than serious injury. If he's not able to return in those next two days it shouldn't be much longer before Marte is patrolling right field for the Mets, assuming there are no setbacks in his recovery.

Marte was lifted from Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers due to neck stiffness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder can be viewed as day-to-day, but it wouldn't be surprising if he missed out on at least one start on account of the injury. Marte was hitless in three plate appearances Wednesday before being pulled.
