On top of injuries to Edwin Diaz and Justin Verlander, Starling Marte is now dealing with one.</p><p>Marte was pulled from the Mets’ loss to the Miami Marlins <a href="https://twitter.com/Mets/status/1645135185371955200?s=20" rel="noopener">due to a neck strain</a> and is considered day-to-day, the team announced. He collided with Jean Segura’s leg at third base on a steal attempt in the first inning. He remained in the game as the base runner but was subbed out shortly thereafter.</p><p>More injuries are the last thing the team needs right now, especially to one of their best players. The 34-year-old has started off the season well, contributing 10 hits, four stolen bases, three walks, two RBI and a .863 OPS as New York’s two-hole hitter.</p><p>Last season, Marte was named an All-Star but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-starling-marte-undergoes-surgery-to-repair-core-muscle-injury-but-theres-a-catch" rel="noopener">injured his core muscle</a> in the back half of the year, costing him several games as the Mets floundered. His well-rounded game, particularly his hitting, has been huge for New York. Any absences from him would put immense pressure on Pete Alonso, the other most reliable hitter to this point in the season.</p><p>The Mets’ pitching staff has been injured and ineffective while the lineup remains inconsistent so far. Top prospect Francisco Alvarez has had his share of struggles. Although there is plenty of time for the Mets to collect themselves and get on the path to success, this start has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/francisco-lindor-addresses-mets-mediocre-start" rel="noopener">not been very good</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Mets outfielder Starling Marte underwent surgery to repair a core muscle injury on Tuesday, an ailment that he reportedly “sustained in the second half of the season.” <a href="https://twitter.com/timbhealey/status/1588245144675184641" rel="noopener">Tim Healey of Newsday Sports</a> has the details.</p><p>It’s certainly not the way the club- or Marte- wanted to start the offseason, with a surgery. However, the catch, per Healey, is that the Mets say Starling Marte will be able to participate in spring training “without restriction.”</p><p>The typical recovery timeline for such an injury is generally eight weeks. Marte, 34, signed a four-year, $78 million contract with the Mets last December as part of an all-out free agency binge by owner Steve Cohen.</p><p>The two-time All-Star took to New York well, as he posted a .292 batting average with 16 homers, 63 RBI, 76 runs scored and 18 stolen bases in 118 games. Marte made the All-Star team- and his 132 OPS+ was tied for the highest mark of his career.</p><p>However, the injury bug bit Starling Marte back in June when he sustained the core injury that required this offseason surgery. Then, Marte was placed on the 10-day injured list after he suffered a fractured middle <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-is-starling-marte-on-new-yorks-nl-wild-card-series-roster-vs-padres/" rel="noopener">finger</a> due to a hit by a pitch in September.</p><p>It’s honestly quite remarkable that he was able to put up the numbers he did for the Mets. There’s reason to believe that Starling Marte could be even more productive for the club next season when fully healthy.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He’s dealt with injury concerns as of late, and his playoff status was unclear as a result. New York recently made a final decision on the outfielder ahead of the NL Wild Card Series, <a href="https://twitter.com/martinonyc/status/1578399662314233858" rel="noopener">per Andy Martino</a>.</p><h2><b>Is Starling Marte on Mets’ NL Wild Card Series roster?</b></h2><p>“Starling Marte will be ON wild card roster, per source,” Martino wrote on Twitter.</p><p>This is incredible news on the surface. But Marte’s role has yet to be determined. Previous indications hinted that Marte’s injured finger was still hurting. As a result, Starling Marte may be limited to pinch-hitting duties.</p><p>Key pieces of the rotation in Carlos Carrasco and Taijuan Walker are reportedly not on the roster. Although their absences may seem confusing at first, it makes sense when you consider the NL Wild Card format. The Mets will only need 3 starting pitchers at most against the Padres. With Max Scherzer, Jacob deGrom, and Christ Bassitt <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-new-york-considering-holding-out-jacob-degrom-until-possible-nlds-vs-dodgers/">set to be those 3 pitchers</a>, Walker and Carrasco were ultimately left off the roster.</p><p>Starling Marte’s addition to the roster may prove to be necessary, as the Mets want all of the offense they can get with their top pitchers set to take the mound. The last thing Buck Showalter wants to see is a lack of run support for stars like Scherzer and deGrom.</p><p>It will be interesting to see what role Starling Marte plays against the Padres in the NL Wild Card Series. There is no question that his inclusion on the roster is a good sign in reference to his health. But New York will need to be careful, as they certainly do not want Marte re-aggravate his injury.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
