Starling Marte (back) still out for Pirates against Cubs
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (back) remains out of the lineup Monday versus the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
Nagging back spasms have kept Marte out since Thursday and owners should have a backup plan ready for the final week of the season. Adam Frazier is starting in left field and batting seventh against Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks.
Marte is having a fairly strong year from the dish, slashing .311/.362/.457 through 528 plate appearances. His .351 wOBA is the second-best mark of his career.
