Starling Marte: Breaking News

Marte went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Twins. Drawing the start at designated hitter versus southpaw Connor Prielipp, Marte lifted his first homer of the campaign Sunday. The left-handed-hitting Carter Jensen should continue to serve as Kansas City's primary DH, but Marte could see an uptick in at-bats in right field until Jac Caglianone (shoulder) returns to action. Even so, Marte is slashing a pedestrian .258/.315/.348 with four extra-base hits, five RBI, five runs scored and no stolen bases over 73 plate appearances.

Marte went 3-for-4 with an RBI and was caught stealing in Thursday's 6-3 loss against the Athletics. With left-hander Jeffrey Springs (hip) starting for the Athletics, Marte was inserted into Thursday's lineup and came through with his first multi-hit effort of the season. The veteran opened the scoring in the first inning with an opposite-field single to plate Maikel Garcia. Marte has handled a limited role as a platoon option for the Royals but has produced when called upon, as evidenced by a .303 batting average, though the 37-year-old has yet to draw a walk or show much power across 35 plate appearances.

Marte will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Yankees. Marte will crack the Royals' starting nine for just the sixth time in the team's first 22 games of the season. All but one of those starts have come against left-handed pitching, so the Royals seemingly view the 37-year-old primarily as a platoon option in the outfield.
