Starling Marte (back) has no timetable for return to Pirates
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (back) no longer has a timetable for his return to the starting lineup, manager Neal Huntington suggested Sunday.
What It Means:
"We felt like we were getting really close to getting him able to go compete again, and then another tough day," Huntington said. "Now we need to take a deep breath and re-evaluate." Marte apparently suffered a setback over the weekend and he has already been shelved since September 5 due to issues with his back. Adam Frazier and Matt Joyce have been playing left field for Pittsburgh.
Marte's 47 stolen bases this year are the second-most in the majors, and he is slashing .311/.362/.457 with a .351 wOBA through 526 plate appearances.
