Starling Marte - Receives injection TuesdayMarte received an injection in his right groin Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
ImpactMarte 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.

Seiya Suzuki - Slated for start WednesdayCubs manager David Ross said that Suzuki will start Wednesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ImpactSuzuki is out of the lineup again Tuesday, marking his fourth straight absence from the starting nine. Ross wanted to give Suzuki a break amidst his struggles -- the 28-year-old is batting just .215/.276/.329 since the intermission. Chicago is lined up to oppose a lefty (David Peterson) on Wednesday and Suzuki may have to settle for short-side platoon duty for the time being.

Ethan Roberts - Cleared to face hittersRoberts (elbow) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ImpactRoberts has finally received the green light to face hitters for the first time since he underwent Tommy John surgery July 13 of last year. He'll likely throw multiple live batting practice sessions before eventually heading out on an extended rehab assignment that will likely last close to the maximum 30 days. Barring any setbacks, Roberts still has a chance to make his return from the 60-day injured list before season's end, though the Cubs will most likely option him to Triple-A Iowa once he's activated.
