Back in action Sunday Marte (head) is starting in center field and batting second Sunday against the Blue Jays, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Marte was held out of Saturday's lineup after being hit by a pitch in the head Friday, but he avoided a concussion and will only end up missing the one contest. The 32-year-old is in the midst of a modest five-game hit streak, in which he is 7-for-20 with a home run, two doubles, two RBI and seven runs.

Feeling better Marte (head) is feeling better Saturday and was able to go through physical activities, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Marte isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays after he was hit in the head by a pitch Friday. A concussion has thankfully been ruled out, so it appears as though he's avoided a long-term injury, but he's still sore enough that the Athletics held him out of the lineup as a precaution. Skye Bolt starts in center field Saturday.

Out of lineup Saturday Marte (head) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.
Impact A scary incident unfolded Friday when Marte was hit in the head by an Alek Manoah pitch. While he stayed in the game initially and scored a run, Marte did not take his position in the field the following half inning. Fortunately, initial tests led the A's to believe Marte did not suffer a concussion, and there has been nothing so far Saturday to suggest his diagnosis has changed. Skye Bolt will take over in center field for at least one start.

Not believed to have concussion Marte (head) isn't believed to have sustained a concussion in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Marte was removed from Friday's game shortly after he was hit in the head by a pitch, but early results are encouraging. The 32-year-old didn't have a headache following the matchup, and he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Exits after HBP Marte exited Friday's game against the Blue Jays after he was hit in the head by a pitch in the bottom of the fifth inning, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
Impact Marte stayed in Friday's game to run the bases after he was plunked, but he was replaced defensively in the top of the sixth inning. He went 1-for-2 with two runs prior to his departure, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time.

Goes deep in loss Marte went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Wednesday against Detroit.
Impact Marte turned around a Wily Peralta offering in the fourth inning and sent it into the center-field stands to give the A's a 2-1 edge. It was the 10th homer of the year for Marte, and his third since joining Oakland at the trade deadline. The 32-year-old, who later added a single in the fifth, has hits in 10 of his last 11 games and is slashing .346/.377/.485 in 138 plate appearances with his new club. He's also a perfect 20-for-20 on the basepaths with Oakland and 42-for-45 overall.

Two more steals in win Marte went 0-for-4 in a win over the Yankees on Saturday but recorded two stolen bases.
Impact Marte managed the rare statistical feat of recording multiple thefts alongside an empty batting line by making the Yankees pay on the two occasions he reached safely via error. The veteran outfielder stole third in the third inning after reaching second base on a throwing error by Rougned Odor, and he subsequently swiped second after Anthony Rizzo's miscue allowed Marte to reach safely in the fifth. Marte's 42 steals for the season have naturally done wonders for his already formidable fantasy value, and he's now just five short of tying the career-high 47 he tallied in 2016.

Hits 40-steal mark Marte went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in a loss to the Yankees on Thursday.
Impact Marte extended his on-base streak to nine games with his single while also recording his 18th steal since joining the Athletics just before the trade deadline. With 40 steals on the campaign, the 30-year-old is just eight shy of eclipsing the career high he set in 2016 and has already locked in his best tally in that category since that season.

Thrives in low-scoring loss Marte went 3-for-4 with a double and two stolen bases in a loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Impact Irrespective of his team's fortunes on any given day, Marte seems like a virtual lock to deliver for fantasy managers. The veteran outfielder burned the Logan Webb-Buster Posey battery for his most recent pair of steals Sunday, pushing his tally in that category since joining the Athletics to a perfect 17-for-17. Marte has also laced 10 of his 34 hits with Oakland for extra bases, helping him to already rack up 14 RBI over that 22-game period.

Enjoying first Bay Bridge series Marte went 3-for-9 with two RBI doubles, another two-bagger, two stolen bases and two runs in Friday's and Saturday's games against the Giants.
Impact The trade-deadline acquisition has been on a tear since arriving in Oakland, with his production over the first two games of the current installment of the Bay Bridge series serving as the latest example. Marte's seventh-inning double Friday extended Oakland's lead to 3-1, while his two-bagger in the first inning Saturday plated Mark Canha for the first run of the game. Marte also encouragingly continues to receive the green light frequently on the basepaths, and his 37 steals are his best figure in that category since he swiped a career-high 47 with the Pirates in 2016.

Remains active on bases Marte went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and an RBI in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox.
Impact Before being dealt to Oakland on July 28, Marte had already been one of MLB's most active base stealers, but he's increased his aggressiveness on the bases tenfold since joining the Athletics. Through his first 18 games with the team, Marte has gone an incredible 12-for-12 on steal attempts while batting .359 and chipping in two home runs, 12 RBI and 12 runs. He'll be back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale in Chicago, starting in center field and batting second.
