Starling Marte’s health a Mets spring training win with outfielder open to DH at-bats
NY Post
TAMPA — If there was extra scrutiny on Starling Marte among the Mets players who had a slow spring training, it was because of the ailments that derailed him last season.
But Marte arrived in camp feeling as if the questions about his health had been answered.
He departed Monday saying nothing had changed in that regard.
The Mets consider that a win.
“I continue to think with Starling the most important thing is health,” president of baseball operations David Stearns said a day earlier. “And what we’ve seen is that he’s a healthy player.”
On this day Marte was plunked in the helmet by a Clay Holmes breaking ball in the fifth inning and walked off in good spirits.

The network suggested on several occasions that Bronny might not be available when the Lakers chose.
