  • Sidelined at least four weeks
    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Marte (knee) will be sidelined for "at least four weeks," Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Marte will be shut down for 15 days to allow a right knee bone bruise to heal and will need time to ramp things back up after that. A rehab assignment at some point before activation seems likely. Ben Gamel replaced Marte on the roster and could see some reps in right field, although DJ Stewart and Tyrone Taylor should be higher in the pecking order. Taylor is starting in right Tuesday after Stewart started there in the Mets' previous game Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:22 pm

  • On bench Tuesday
    Vaughn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Vaughn will be out of the lineup for the first time since dealing with a finger injury at the start of June, giving way to Gavin Sheets at first base Tuesday. After logging a seven-game hit streak, Vaughn has gone 0-for-8 in his last two games. Rotowire.com Today, 1:17 pm
     
  • Mendoza: Starling Marte (knee) to miss four weeks
    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Starling Marte (knee) is expected to miss at least four weeks.

    Advice: It’s a significant loss for the Mets as Marte finally landed on the injured list ahead of Tuesday’s series opener against the Yankees after playing through a right knee issue for an extended period. The 35-year-old veteran corner outfielder has been diagnosed with a bone bruise and Mendoza indicated that it’ll be at least one month before he’s ready to return. That updated timeline means he’ll be sidelined until at least after next month’s All-Star break, if not longer. Rotoworld Today, 1:08 pm

  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Suwinski is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Suwinski started the previous four games but will sit after going 2-for-14 with a double and an RBI during that stretch. Michael Taylor will start in center field against Cincinnati righty Hunter Greene on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:55 pm
     
  • Lands on IL with knee bone bruise
    The Mets placed Marte on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right knee bone bruise.

    Advice: Marte was given the diagnosis following an MRI and has been prescribed 15 days of rest. The hope is that he will be able to ramp back up after that point, but with two weeks of no activities, a return before the All-Star break seems unlikely. DJ Stewart and Tyrone Taylor will likely be the primary beneficiaries of Marte's absence. Rotowire.com Today, 11:59 am

  • Mets place Starling Marte (knee) on 10-day IL
    Mets placed OF Starling Marte on the 10-day injured list with a right knee bone bruise.

    Advice: Marte picked up the knee injury Saturday against the Cubs, and he’s been told he needs to rest for at least 15 days before he can return to action. He could need a rehab assignment after, so Marte may not return until around the All-Star break. Ben Gamel is up to take Marte’s place on the roster. Rotoworld Today, 11:53 am

  • Three hits, two steals Monday
    Abrams went 3-for-5 with a double, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Abrams has posted a trio of three-hit games over his last four contests. He'd been less fortunate on the basepaths lately, going 1-for-4 on stolen base attempts over the previous five games before his two swipes Monday. The shortstop is putting together a strong breakout campaign with a .275/.325/.502 slash line, 12 home runs, 39 RBI, 47 runs scored and 13 thefts over 70 contests.

  • Nathaniel Lowe goes 0-for-4, fans three times
    Nathaniel Lowe went 0-for-4 and struck out three times against the Brewers in Monday’s loss.

    Advice: Lowe looked like a long-term answer at first base for the Rangers in 2022, but his power production fell off last year and has continued to decline this season, as he’s managed just two homers and three barrels through 228 plate appearances. His .351 OBP is nice, so it seems unlikely that the Rangers will try to upgrade this summer. However, if he fails to step it up, he’s going to be a non-tender candidate this winter.

  • Starling Marte to go on IL with knee inflammation
    Starling Marte has been told to rest for 15 days because of bone inflammation in his right knee.

    Advice: Marte will surely go on the injured list Tuesday. That could lead to Brett Baty’s recall, but if the Mets would prefer to have both he and Mark Vientos keep playing every day, they do have an open spot on the 40-man to add an outfielder, probably Ben Gamel or Trayce Thompson. Tyrone Taylor and DJ Stewart will split time in right while Marte is out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:17 pm
