Marte has not played since the first week of August <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-starling-marte-tiger-woods-sidney-crosbys-footsteps-injury-return" rel="noopener">due to a groin injury</a> but is still <a href="https://twitter.com/AnthonyDiComo/status/1704608433213755856" rel="noopener">making an effort</a> in order for him to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-new-yorks-woes-continue-with-starling-marte-injury" rel="noopener">get a shot at seeing the field</a> for at least a few games before the conclusion of the 2023 campaign, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.</p><p><i>“Starling Marte (groin strain) is scheduled to play simulated games at Class A St. Lucie tomorrow and Friday, followed by Triple-A games on Saturday and Sunday.

There is still a chance for him to bounce back in 2024, but for now, the best he could hope for is to end his 2023 season on a positive note by eventually returning to the Mets active roster and making a positive impact at the plate and in the outfield.</p><p>The Mets will play their final road series of the season against the Philadelphia Phillies beginning on Thursday before traveling back home to face the Miami Marlins and the Phillies for their final six games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They came into this season with World Series aspirations. Considering how much money they shelled out in the offseason, that was a fair expectation. However, New York collapsed in brutal fashion this season. A combination of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-buck-showalter-drops-surprising-edwin-diaz-injury-update" rel="noopener">injuries</a> and poor play led to the team’s demise.</p><p>As a result,  the Mets have effectively punted away this season (as well as the 2024 season). Despite that, a key player on the team is still looking to make his return this season. Starling Marte has been in and out of the IL for most of the season due to various injuries. Recently, Marte has been listed as out due to a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-mets-get-mixed-bag-of-updates-on-starling-marte-tommy-pham" rel="noopener">groin injury</a>. After a month or so of being on the IL, Marte is <a href="https://twitter.com/AnthonyDiComo/status/1698364139067080934" rel="noopener">planning to return</a>, thanks to the help of a particularly notable physical therapist, per Anthony DiComo.</p><p>“Starling Marte (groin) said he hopes to play again this year after working with a physical therapist who has helped Tiger Woods and Sidney Crosby. If he doesn’t continue to progress, however, Marte may need to reprise the same surgery he underwent last November all over again.”</p><p>Marte has been out for the Mets for quite some time due to the aforementioned groin injury. Even when he’s on the field, though, Marte has struggled. His percentages have gone down significantly from 2022, where he was an All-Star. His slugging has taken a noticeable dip, in particular: he went from a 132 OPS+ in 2022 to a measly 74, well below league average.</p><p>It remains to be seen whether Marte will still be able to return for this season. Perhaps it would be in his best interest to postpone his return and instead focus his attention on getting better for the 2024 season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Ahead of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-yankees-prediction-odds-pick-how-to-watch-7-25-2023" rel="noopener">the Mets’ game</a> with the New York Yankees on Tuesday, Marte was<a href="https://twitter.com/timbhealey/status/1683908835121954825?s=20"> hitting and running the base</a>s in the Bronx, according to Newsday’s Tim Healey.</p><p>Marte is eligible to return from the IL on Thursday. The Mets start a two-game series with the Yankees on Tuesday before hosting a four-game series with the Washington Nationals.</p><p>Marte last played when the Mets defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 16.</p><p>During a season in which many Mets’ players have fallen below expectations, Marte is near <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-to-blame-start-2023-season" rel="noopener">the top of the list</a>. After making the All-Star team with New York in 2023, Marte is hitting .254/.308/.332. His .640 OPS is easily the lowest mark of his career.

Owner Steve Cohen has suggested that he will seriously consider moving veterans if the team isn’t in the playoff race. The Mets are seven games out of the third and final NL wild-card race with a 46-53 record.</p><p>Tommy Pham and David Robertson might be New York’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-trade-candidate-tommy-pham-injury-update" rel="noopener">most realistic trade candidates</a>.

However, there isn’t much he can do about this migraine issue. The Mets would obviously love to keep him off the IL, but this decision is understandable given the circumstance.</p><p>Marte, 34, is slashing .254/.308/.332 with a .640 OPS in 2023. He’s also hit seven home runs and stolen 24 bases. A former All-Star, Marte hasn’t been consistent in 2023. That said, injuries have played a role. He’s appeared in 84 games up to this point.</p><h2><b>Marte’s IL placement could impact Mets trade deadline plans</b></h2><p>There’s a chance that New York will sell ahead of the MLB trade deadline. Players such as David Robertson, Tommy Pham, and Mark Canha <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-3-mets-traded-2023-deadline" rel="noopener">are trade candidates</a> without question. Even Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander may be made available, although trading either pitcher <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-new-york-trouble-trading-justin-verlander-max-scherzer" rel="noopener">would be difficult</a> given their ages and contracts.</p><p>Starling Marte also may have been a potential trade candidate. Depending on how long he’s out, Marte still may be an option. Trading Marte wouldn’t be easy for the Mets though. He’s going to turn 35-years old in October and is <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/new-york-mets/starling-marte-11078/" rel="noopener">owed</a> $19.5 million in 2024 and 2025, per Spotrac. A contender still may have interest in Marte given his outfield versatility, veteran prowess, and speed on the base paths. Additionally, he isn’t a bad hitter despite his struggles in 2023.</p><p>We will continue to monitor and provide updates on Marte and the Mets as they are made available.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
