The Mets‘ outfield has been a carousel of players this season due to injuries and trades, but it appears one key piece is getting closer to returning to the lineup.
Before Monday’s 7-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, outfielder Starling Marte discussed his right groin injury with the media, which has landed him on the 10-day-injured list.
“I feel a lot better now,” Marte said through an interpreter. “After I got the injection, the inflammation has gone down, so I feel a lot better now.”
The 34-year-old began light activity last week at Citi Field following the injection to the groin, but he certainly will not be ready to go by Wednesday, which is eligible to come off the injured list.
