Marte Exits Game With Right Knee Soreness
The New York Mets announced Starling Marte was removed from today’s game in the second inning due to right knee soreness. Marte has been struggling with pain in his knee for some time now and has noticeably lost a step when tracking down balls in the outfield.

The 35-year-old is in his third year of a four-year $78 million deal and has been a big addition to the Mets on both offense and defense. Since joining the team in 2022 Marte has batted .275 with 28 home runs, 121 RBIs, and 152 runs scored. He has been a part of a great month of June for the Mets batting .333 in his last 15 games with 11 RBIs and a home run. It is uncertain how much time Marte will miss, but for the foreseeable future, the Mets will see Tyrone Taylor and DJ Stewart rotating in the lineup.
