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.

Marte (neck) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Marte strained his neck when he collided with Marlins third baseman Jean Segura while stealing a base in Sunday's 7-2 loss, but he was fortunate to avoid a concussion, per Deesha Thosar of Fox Sports. The Mets are hopeful that he'll be available off the bench Monday in some capacity, so Marte could be ready to rejoin the starting nine as soon as Tuesday, according to Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News. Jeff McNeil will cover right field Monday, with Luis Guillorme filling in at second base.

Marte was removed from Sunday's game against the Marlins in the top of the second inning with an apparent head injury, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After reaching on a one-out double in the first inning, Marte proceeded to steal third base, but his head looked to have made contact with the knee of Marlins third baseman Jean Segura as he slid into the base. Marte was able to remain in the game and was ultimately stranded at third base after back-to-back strikeouts by Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, but Luis Guillorme came on to replace Marte in the top of the second. The Mets will presumably put Marte through tests to determine whether or not he suffered a concussion when he slid into Segura's knee.
