  • 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 11:53 am

  • Homers in Monday's win
    Ward went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-1 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: Ward gave the Angels all the offense they needed with his first-inning blast. This was his 13th homer of the season, but it's just his second over the last 24 contests. The outfielder may be coming back around at the plate, as he's hit safely in four straight games, but he's at a .241/.326/.431 slash line with 40 RBI, 37 runs scored and three stolen bases through 75 contests overall.

  • 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 Monday, 6:17 pm

  • Likely headed to IL
    Marte was advised Monday to rest for the next 15 days after being diagnosed with bone inflammation in his right knee, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Marte was sent for an MRI on Monday after experiencing soreness in his right knee, and while the team has yet to confirm that he'll be placed on the injured list, that transaction will likely be made Tuesday. Marte will likely be re-evaluated following the 15-day shutdown period to determine the next steps in his recovery. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:05 pm

  • Daulton Varsho (back) could come off bench Monday
    Daulton Varsho, who missed Sunday’s game with back tightness, is likely to be available off the bench Monday.

    Advice: Varsho worked out on the field today, but the Blue Jays decided to hold him out initially, at least. They have Davis Schneider in left and Kevin Kiermaier in center tonight. Rotoworld Monday, 2:23 pm
     
  • Remains out of lineup
    Varsho (back) is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.

    Advice: Varsho tweaked his back on a swing in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians and has now been out of the lineup for two straight contests. He's available off the bench, per Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic, seemingly giving him a good chance to return to the lineup Tuesday. Kevin Kiermaier will handle center field Monday while Varsho takes a seat. Rotowire.com Monday, 1:27 pm
     
  • Pops 15th home run
    Greene went 2-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run in Sunday's 11-2 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Greene hit his 15th home run of the season in the second inning, a three-run shot that pushed him to 40 RBI this year. The 23-year-old outfielder has gone deep five times this month in 20 games, and a monster finish to the campaign could be in order if he keeps this up. Greene has already set a new career high with the 15 homers, and he needs three more RBI to set a new career best in that category. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:08 pm

  • Starling Marte out Sunday with ongoing knee issue
    Starling Marte (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday night’s showdown against the Cubs.

    Advice: New York’s front office hasn’t made a roster move yet, so it doesn’t sound like Marte is ticketed for the injured list after leaving Saturday’s game with right knee soreness. The 35-year-old veteran outfielder will get some extra time off to rest and recover from the lingering issue and is presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Sunday, 12:33 pm
