2 years agoNew York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (finger) never attempted baseball activities before Friday's game, according to skipper Buck Showalter. Marte will try again on Saturday, with an injured list stint still a strong possibility. The 33-year-old veteran suffered a non-displaced fracture of his right middle finger after he was hit by a pitch on Tuesday, and the Mets initially listed him as day-to-day. If he can't get going this weekend, it seems likely they'll put him on the injured list to let him heal further. While time is running out for fantasy managers, Marte needs to remain stashed everywhere. He's currently hitting .292 with 16 home runs, 63 RBI, 76 runs scored and 18 stolen bases. The left-handed hitting Tyler Naquin has started in right field for the Mets since Marte suffered the injury on Tuesday.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
