Latest news

  • The Royals released Marte on Wednesday.

    He's now officially a free agent after passing through waivers. Marte slashed just .242/.298/.314 with two home runs and two stolen bases in 59 games for the Royals this season. Should the 37-year-old want to continue his career, he might have to accept a minor-league contract.

  • The Royals designated Marte for assignment Monday.

    Marte wound up being a casualty of the Royals' roster crunch, as the team needed to clear two spots after infielders Vinnie Pasquantino (wrist) and Maikel Garcia (hand) were reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's series opener versus the Athletics. Though the right-handed-hitting Marte received 75 percent of his plate appearances against left-handed pitching, he slashed just .242/.298/.314 with two home runs and two stolen bases in 59 games. Given the 37-year-old's lackluster offensive production along with his limited utility on defense at this stage of his career, he could end up going unclaimed off waivers.

  • Fantasy baseball lineup advice for Sunday: Red-hot Lambert tops streaming options

    Everything you need to know to set your fantasy baseball lineups for Sunday's MLB action.

    ESPN · Aug 2

  • Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Marte will retreat to the bench after he served as the Royals' designated hitter in each of the last three games while going a collective 2-for-9 at the plate. All three of those starts came against left-handed pitching, and Marte appears unlikely to break out of a short-side platoon role anytime soon. He's logged 116 plate appearances on the season, with 88 coming against lefties.

  • Marte went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 14-6 win over St. Louis.

    With left-hander Matthew Liberatore getting the start for St. Louis, Marte was in the lineup in right field and made the most of the opportunity, logging his second three-hit effort of the campaign. It was highlighted by an RBI double down the right-field line to cap off a six-run second inning for Kansas City. Across 91 plate appearances this season, the veteran outfielder is hitting .277/.330/.361 with a homer, four doubles, six RBI and eight runs scored.

  • 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.
