Starling Marte Returns Against Phillies
10 months agoNew York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (knee) is starting in right field and is batting fifth for the Mets on Saturday in London against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Ranger Suarez. Marte was scratched from the team's lineup on Wednesday, but the 35-year-old appears ready to go now and will return to a tough matchup against Suarez. However, Marte has been swinging a hot bat lately and has gone 10-for-22 with six RBI and five runs scored in his last six games to boost his season slash line up to .276/.326/.414 to go along with six home runs, 25 RBI, 10 stolen bases and 32 runs scored in 210 at-bats this year. Also, in 13 career at-bats against Suarez, Marte is hitting .308. Fantasy managers in most leagues will want to get Marte back in there on Saturday.
