The Mets announced the Starling Marte suffered a partial non-displaced fracture of his right middle finger. Marte was hit by a pitch on his hand in the top of the first inning on Tuesday. The 33 year old is being listed as day-to-day.
“We were hoping that there wasn’t some form of a fracture,” said Buck Showalter. “But the good news is it looks like it’s something he’ll be able to manage. This one your going to have to give us some time. Hopefully not too long.”
Marte didn’t appear in either of Wednesday’s games against the Pirates as he underwent more testing on his injured finger. The Mets are not giving a specific timeline of when the veteran outfielder can return to action.
