Starling Marte News: Benefiting from LHP-heavy schedule

Marte will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Marte will claim his fifth start in six games, with each coming against a left-handed pitcher. The veteran outfielder/designated hitter is slashing just .231/.231/.269 since the start of September and will likely remain in a short-side platoon role for the rest of the season.
