Starling Marte will miss about a month with a deep bone bruise on his right knee, leaving a hole in the Mets lineup. Ben Gamel has been called up from the minors as a replacement. The Mets are unsure how Marte sustained the injury and will closely monitor his recovery.
Jose Iglesias has been performing well since his call-up from Syracuse, allowing the Mets to shift Jeff McNeil to the outfield for a potential matchup against the Yankees. In other news, Sean Reid-Foley continues to deal with a shoulder impingement.
