Impact The veteran outfielder was thankfully able to leave the field under his own power, and he may now be subject to the league's concussion protocols. Marte seems likely to be held out of the lineup for at least a day or two, even if he avoids a concussion. He didn't make his spring debut until Friday after undergoing core muscle surgery during the offseason, and he now has another hurdle to overcome in camp.

Impact Marte told Martino afterward that his legs felt good and also confirmed that it was his first time seeing live pitching since last fall. The veteran outfielder is trending in the right direction in his recovery from dual groin surgeries, and the current expectation is that he will be close to full strength in time for Opening Day.

Taking live BP Thursday Marte (groin) will take live batting practice on the field Thursday, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

Impact The Mets have also mapped out a plan for Marte's Grapefruit League action, although they haven't revealed it yet. Marte underwent surgery in November to repair separated tendons from both sides of his groin, but all signs point to him being ready in time for Opening Day, barring any setbacks. Manager Buck Showalter has expressed hope that Marte can be more aggressive on the basepaths in 2023 with a healthy groin, but it remains to be seen whether the club might ease him into things early on in the season.

Returning from double-groin surgery Marte disclosed Sunday that he underwent surgery to repair separated tendons of both of his groin areas during the offseason, but he anticipates being ready to go for Opening Day,...

Impact Marte has arrived at Mets camp before position players were scheduled to report, but he looks as though he'll be limited in the early stages of spring training since he's not yet back to full strength. The pair of procedures prompted him to forgo playing with the Dominican Republic in this spring's World Baseball Classic, and he'll most likely miss time to start the Mets' Grapefruit League slate while he continues his ramp-up program. According to Tim Britton of The Athletic, manager Buck Showalter said the groin injuries played a role in Marte's involvement in the running game being more limited in 2022 compared to previous years, but the skipper is hopeful the 34-year-old can be more aggressive on the bases in 2023 once he's back to 100 percent health. Marte also played through a fractured finger down the stretch last season, but he appears to have made a full recovery from that injury.

Expected to be ready for opener Marte (core) is expected to be ready for Opening Day, Mets manager Buck Showalter told Michael Mayer of Metsmerized.com Tuesday.

Impact Marte is expected to be a little behind schedule in camp following November core muscle surgery, but his manager doesn't seem to be worried about the outfielder's availability for the opener. Obviously, more will be known about Marte's status later on in spring training, but it's heartening to hear that Showalter is unconcerned.

Could be limited this spring Marte (core) could be limited at the start of spring training, Mets general manager Billy Eppler said Tuesday, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

Impact This is the first time that somebody from inside the Mets organization has acknowledged that Marte might be a question mark for the opening of camp. Eppler did, however, indicate that the veteran outfielder is making a steady recovery from his November core muscle surgery and even left the door open that Marte could still get the go-ahead to suit up for his native Dominican Republic at some point in the World Baseball Classic. In other words, a wait-and-see mode remains intact here.

Status for start of spring TBD Marte's (core) status for the start of spring training has yet to be determined, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

Impact The Mets said following Marte's core muscle surgery back in early November that he was expected to be full-go come spring training. However, it appears his availability is now more of a question mark. Marte will not play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic as he had previously hoped to. More is expected to be known about Marte's status by early February, Martino adds.
