It has been a tough few months when it comes to injuries for New York Mets right fielder, Starling Marte.
He had to be sidelined during the last month of the 2022 regular season with a finger injury. In the offseason, Marte was surprised that he needed to get core muscle surgery. It led to some missed time in Spring Training.
Marte finally made his Spring Training debut on Friday and went off right away. He finished 2-2 with a two-run homer and a double.
In just his next game, yesterday afternoon, during his third at-bat, in the bottom of the fifth inning, Marte got hit by a pitch in the head.
