The 35-year-old right-fielder has been out since late June after suffering a bone bruise in his right knee and had begun ramping up last month. Over the weekend, he ran the bases without discomfort, which appeared to be the final hurdle he had to clear before getting sent to a rehab assignment. Marte once again has been hampered by injuries after his 2023 season was derailed by complications from double-groin surgery, a neck injury, and migraine issues. He was limited to just 86 games — a notable absence for a team that woefully underwhelmed.
Marte’s return would likely spell the end of Ben Gamel’s time in the majors while Winker and Taylor would be relegated to backup duty in both corner outfield spots. Mendoza also suggested that the left-handed Winker could get at-bats at DH against right-handed pitching.Pantorno is the executive sports editor of amNewYork — a position he has held since January 2020.
