3 years agoNew York Mets outfielder Starling Marte is not in the starting lineup on Sunday as he gets a day to rest. In the first three games of the season, Marte has gotten off to a bit of a quiet start with his new team, going 3-for-14 with a double, four RBI and a strikeout. He was also caught stealing once. Mark Canha is starting in right field and batting seventh in Marte's place against Washington Nationals right-hander Erick Fedde. Jeff McNeil is in left field and batting eighth, while Robinson Cano gets the start at second base and will hit third. Marte, 33, didn't see much spring action due to an oblique injury, but he was able to begin the season with a clean bill of health.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
