3:05pm : Mets manager Carlos Mendoza says that Marte will be shut down from baseball activities for two weeks and will be sidelines for at least four weeks. Anthony DiComo of MLB.com was among those to relay the news . 2:20pm : The Mets announced that outfielder has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 23, with a right knee bone bruise. Outfielder has been selected to take his spot on the roster. The club already had a vacancy on their 40-man, which is now Marcus Morris Sr. Jersey full. It was over the weekend that Marte has been dealing with knee sorene s for about three weeks. He has been playing through the ailment and generally performing well, but it seemed to become too much recently. He departed Saturdays game due to that knee and was set for an MRI on Monday. Its unclear how long the Mets expect him to be out, but theyll give him at least another week to rest up. The knee sorene s didnt seem to be slowing him down much, as hes currently sporting a line of .278/.328/.416 for the year, production which translates to a 116 wRC+. That includes an excellent .304/.360/.457 showing in the month of June, when the i sue cropped up. Its been a nice bounceback for Marte, who hit just .248/.301/.324 for a 76 wRC+ last year while dealing with lingering effects of groin surgery. He was back to health and in good form for the first half of this year but will now have to overcome this bone bruise before continuing with his bounceback season. Thats a lo s for the Mets, given how well Marte has been performing. They still have and in two outfield spots, but Martes absence could open up more playing time for or . Stewart can hit but isnt a great fielder, while Taylor has been in the inverse position this year. The 32-year-old Gamel will join the outfield mix alongside those two. He signed a minor league deal with the Mets in the offseason and has been performing very well in Triple-A this year. He has drawn a walk in 16.3% of his 190 plate appearances and has also hit seven home runs. A .400 batting average on balls in play has also helped, with Gamel sporting a line of .314/.423/.538 and 149 wRC+ on the year for Syracuse. Carrying even a fraction of that to the big leagues would be a nice boost for the club, though its a far cry from his career numbers in the big leagues. He has hit .252/.332/.384 in his in his 685 major league games dating back to his 2016 debut, leading to a 96 wRC+. He has been playing all three outfield slots for Syracuse this year and has done so in his major league career, making him a solid fit for a bench role on the big league club while Marte is out. Gamel has more than five years of major league service time and therefore cant be optioned without his consent, so hell need to be removed from the 40-man if the Mets want to take him off the active roster later in the season.
