The Mets lost one of their hottest bats mid-game on Saturday with a possible injury.
As Starling Marte headed down the dugout stairs with a trainer in the bottom of the fourth inning in the team’s game against the Marlins, he was pinch-hit for by Ender Inciarte. The Mets did not immediately announce a reason for Marte’s departure.
Entering Saturday, Marte was on an eight-game hitting streak, batting .394 with a 1.096 OPS during that stretch. In 43 games since May 1, Marte was batting .319 with an .885 OPS.
In his only at-bat Saturday, Marte struck out in the first inning.
