Starling Marte S. Marte

Starling Marte sitting for Mets in Wednesday matinee

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander T.J. Zeuch and the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

The Mets are giving Marte a breather for the day game after he went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts on Tuesday. He has two hits and four strikeouts in his last 14 at-bats. Tyler Naquin will take over in right field and hit sixth on Wednesday afternoon.

Naquin has a $2,900 salary on Wednesday and numberFire’s models project him for 11.7 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets’ implied total (5.72) is second-highest in the majors on Wednesday.
