  • Exits game with right knee injury
    Marte left Saturday's game against the Cubs due to a sore right knee, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Marte left after the first inning of Friday's game and was replaced by Tyrone Taylor in center field. It's the same knee that has been sore for Marte over the last few weeks, and the Mets should provide some clarity on the severity of the injury following Saturday's game.

  • Starling Marte leaves game with knee soreness
    Starling Marte was removed from Saturday’s game against the Cubs with right knee soreness.

    Advice: MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo adds that Marte has been battling a right knee issue for the past couple weeks. There should be an update on his status at some point in the near future, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see him get a few days off moving forward in an effort to hopefully put the ongoing issue to bed.

  • Homers twice in win
    Candelario went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 5-2 win over Boston.

    Advice: Candelario had been battling tendinitis in the back of his right knee, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, but he was ready to go Friday with the help of the Reds' training staff.

  • Lays down productive bunt
    Friedl went 0-for-2 with an RBI and was hit by a pitch in Friday's 5-2 win over Boston.

    Advice: Friedl, who was hitless in 14 consecutive at-bats when he came up in the seventh inning with runners in scoring position, was thinking bunt. The player that led the majors last season with 17 bunt hits laid down a squeeze bunt. When the throw to the plate got past Red Sox catcher Connor Wong, both runners scored, giving Cincinnati some separation. Friedl is batting .209/.320/.372 with six steals, four home runs, 16 RBI and 14 runs scored through 24 games. Rotowire.com Today, 5:22 am
