And Marte is struggling in his rehab assignment too, hitting .143/.143/.163 over 49 at bats with 14 strikeouts, 0 walks and only 1 extra base hit (7 hits total).

Somehow, in just 49 ABs, he has grounded into 5 double plays and I believe his ground ball rate is 59% or so.

It's a small sample size and he may be more focused on just getting back in the groove of playing and he'll be fine in the majors, but it's concerning.

He may not be the savior for the offense that we were hoping for.
