STARLING MARTE NEWS

Two hits, stolen base in loss Marte went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Marte went down on strikes in each of his first two trips to the plate before reaching on an infield single in the top of the sixth and then stealing second. The outfielder would later come home on a sacrifice fly from Pete Alonso and also added a double in the eighth, marking his first multi-hit performance since returning from the injured list. Marte has now hit safely in six of seven games since his return, going 7-for-25 (.280) over that stretch with two doubles, two stolen bases and two runs scored.

Sitting Tuesday Marte is out of the Mets' lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Marte has appeared in six games since returning from the injured list, but Tuesday will be his third time out of the lineup since his return. As the outfielder gets eased back into major league action, Jesse Winker has the start in right field Tuesday, batting fifth.

Out of Thursday's lineup Marte isn't in the Mets' lineup Thursday versus the Padres.

Impact Marte has recorded a hit in all three games he's played in since returning from the injured list Sunday, but he'll sit down for Thursday's contest while the Mets continue to ease him back into action. Jeff McNeil will handle right field duties while Jose Iglesias starts at the keystone.

Taking seat Tuesday Marte is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Marte started in back-to-back games -- one against a RHP and one against a LHP --after being activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday but will take a seat Tuesday. The 35-year-old missed nearly two months with a bruised right knee, so it's likely that Tuesday is nothing more than a rest day for Marte. In his place, Jesse Winker will bat sixth and play right field.

Mets right fielder Starling Marte returns after he was sidelined by a bone bruise

New York Mets right fielder Starling Marte has been activated from the 15-day injured list after missing eight weeks because of a bone bruise on his right knee

AUGUST 18 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Back from injured list The Mets reinstated Marte (knee) from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting in right field and batting fifth Sunday against the Marlins.

Impact The 35-year-old has been sidelined nearly two months due to a bruised right knee, but he'll rejoin the Mets after a five-game rehab assignment in the minor leagues. Marte was hitting well in June with an .817 OPS in 14 games prior to the injury and will look to pick up where he left off.

Could join Mets Sunday Marte (knee) is scheduled to play nine innings for Triple-A Syracuse on Friday and could be activated Sunday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Impact Marte was trending toward returning sometime this weekend and it appears as though Sunday is the outfielder's target date. Manager Carlos Mendoza indicated that Marte would need to play seven innings in the field on back-to-back days before the Mets would feel comfortable bringing him back. After playing a full nine innings Thursday with Syracuse, Marte is slated to complete Mendoza's requirement Friday. Still, it's unclear how big of a role Marte will play once he's back with the big-league club, as deadline acquisition Jesse Winker has been the team's everyday right fielder recently.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Trending toward weekend return The Mets could activate Marte (knee) from the 10-day injured list as soon as this weekend, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Marte began a rehab assignment last Wednesday and has appeared in three games in the minors, going 2-for-7 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base. The first two of those games came at Single-A St. Lucie before he shifted his assignment to Double-A Binghamton on Sunday. Though Marte hasn't experienced any setbacks with the bone bruise in his right knee while on assignment, the Mets want him to get in some more action in the upper levels of the minors before reinstating him. More specifically, manager Carlos Mendoza said that Marte needs to play seven innings in right field on back-to-back days before the Mets would feel comfortable bringing back. Marte had been the Mets' everyday right fielder before he landed on the shelf June 25, but he may have to settle for a timeshare or even the short side of a platoon at the position after New York added the lefty-hitting Jesse Winker to its outfield ranks ahead of the trade deadline.

AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE

Begins rehab assignment Marte (knee) went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and two strikeouts Wednesday in the first game of his rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie.

Impact He hit an opposite-field single in his first at-bat and then stole second base. Marte started at designated hitter in this one and his rehab assignment is expected to move to Double-A Binghamton by the end of the week. Anthony DiComo of MLB.com speculates Marte could be ready to be activated Tuesday against the Athletics at the beginning of next week's homestand.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab assignment coming next week Marte (knee) will report to Single-A St. Lucie on Monday to begin a rehab assignment, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact He is expected to move his rehab up to Double-A Binghamton by the end of next week. While the Mets have not revealed a target date for Marte's return, it would make sense if they're aiming for Aug. 13 for the beginning of a homestand. Marte has been sidelined since late June with a right knee bone bruise.

JULY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing rehab assignment Marte (knee) hopes to launch a rehab assignment as soon as next week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Marte has been on the 10-day injured list since June 25 with a right knee bone bruise, but he appears to be nearing a return to game action. The 35-year-old had produced a .351 average with five extra-base hits, including a home run, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and four stolen bases over his final 57 at-bats prior to going down with the injury.

Hopes to resume running this week Marte (knee) is hoping to begin a running progression this week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marte resumed baseball activities last week and is looking to continue to ramp things up. He has been shelved since late June with a right knee bone bruise and will require a rehab assignment before being activated, so the veteran outfielder would still appear to be several weeks away from a return.

Resumes baseball activities Marte (knee) played catch and hit off a tee Friday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Mets have been taking it slow with Marte, who's been tending to a right knee contusion since June 22. He's finally began participating in baseball activities, but the Mets will continue to ease him into more action and monitor his pain level moving forward. A timetable for Marte's return has yet to be established.

Resumes baseball activities Marte (knee) played catch and hit off a tee Friday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Mets have been taking it slowly with Marte's recovery from a right knee contusion that's sidelined him since June 22. The team will continue to ease him into action to try and avoid any setbacks for the oft-injured veteran, who hasn't played more than 120 games in a season since 2019.

JULY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Timeline remains uncertain Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that Marte is without a timeline for a return from the 10-day injured list while his recovery from a bone bruise in his right knee remains "...

Impact Nearly three weeks removed from landing on the IL on June 25, Marte is still dealing with pain in his knee and hasn't yet been cleared to resume baseball activities. The Mets had been hoping that Marte would be ready to come off the IL in around four weeks in a best-case scenario, but based on where he currently stands in his recovery, it's apparent that he'll need more time to heal up. On a positive note, Marte has been able to work out in the weight room while he's been sidelined, but a clearer target date for his return from the IL won't emerge until he's able to take part in hitting, running and fielding drills.
