Mets' Starling Marte Placed on 10-Day IL with Knee Bone Bruise

News summary

The New York Mets have placed outfielder Starling Marte on the 10-day IL due to a right knee bone bruise, a condition that has been bothering him for weeks. Marte exited Saturday's game against the Cubs in the second inning due to knee soreness, and subsequent MRI results revealed bone inflammation, requiring 15 days of rest. In his absence, the Mets have called up Ben Gamel from Triple-A Syracuse. Despite having a productive season with a .278/.328/.416 slash line, Marte's defensive performance has been impacted, likely due to his knee issues. The Mets have used DJ Stewart and Tyrone Taylor in right field following Marte's injury, and may consider other Triple-A options like Trayce Thompson or Brett Baty. Marte's injury comes at a challenging time as the Mets also deal with Edwin Diaz's 10-game suspension for violating MLB's sticky substance rule.
