Mets' Starling Marte Out for a Month with Knee Injury

The outfielder's bone bruise sidelines him just as he was hitting his stride this season.

Marte's injury requires at least two weeks without baseball activities, followed by further evaluation.
The Mets have called up Ben Gamel from Triple-A Syracuse to help fill the gap in the outfield.
Manager Carlos Mendoza plans to use a combination of Tyrone Taylor, DJ Stewart, and Jeff McNeil in Marte's absence.
Marte had been experiencing knee discomfort since early June but continued to play until the pain became unmanageable.
Despite his injury, Marte was performing well, with a .278 batting average and 12 stolen bases this season.
