ANALYSIS: Ketel Marte, Seattle’s switch-hitting speedster, had been on the DL with a sprained thumb since May 22, but his injury proved to be very minor— he returned on Monday night when first eligible. After a very slow start, Marte turned things around in May, and he had raised his batting average all the way up to .276 before being sidelined. His best asset is his speed, and he should be a great source of stolen bases and runs scored once he returns (he stole a bag in his first game back). He's not yet a superstar by any means, so many people will have abandoned him thanks to the injury. Any owner would do well to snatch him up immediately and reap the rewards in the coming months.
