New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte listed as day-to-day because of finger fracture

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte has a partial non-displaced fracture on his right middle finger and is day-to-day, the team said on Wednesday.

Marte took a 96 mph fastball from Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Mitch Keller to the middle finger on his right hand on Tuesday. He was out of the lineup for New York's 5-1 win over Pittsburgh on Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader.

Marte is batting .292 with 16 HR and 63 RBIs in 118 games for the Mets this season.
