Starling Marte Returns From Disabled List

Found September 07, 2012 on Pirates Prospects: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Starling Marte
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates

Outfielder Starling Marte has been recalled from his rehab assignment and activated from 15-day disabled list. He is in the Pirates starting lineup batting second and playing in left field today.

Marte was placed on the disabled list on August 19 due to a right oblique strain that he suffered running the bases. Marte went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in his first rehab assignment on Tuesday as the designated hitter with State College. The rookie went a combined 2-for-7 with a walk, four runs and a RBI over two games with Triple-A Indianapolis, who are currently in the playoffs.

The Indianapolis Indians were eliminated from the International League playoffs tonight, ending their season. That also wraps up the minor league season for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
