The New York Mets faced a minor setback as outfielder Starling Marte was unexpectedly scratched from Wednesday’s lineup due to a knee issue. Despite the last-minute change, manager Carlos Mendoza expressed a “low level of concern” regarding Marte’s condition.
Mendoza revealed that Marte had mentioned feeling something in his knee the night before, prompting the decision to pull him from the lineup. Although Marte underwent treatment and initially believed he would be able to play, he continued to experience discomfort on game day.
