NEW YORK -- Mets right fielder Starling Marte was activated from the 15-day injured list Sunday after missing eight weeks because of a bone bruise on his right knee.

Marte was in the fifth spot in the batting order for the finale of a three-game set against Miami. Manager Carlos Mendoza said Marte would get regular rest in hopes of keeping him healthy for the stretch drive.

The 35-year-old Marte hit .292 and made the All-Star team in his first season with the Mets in 2022. But he has been hampered by injuries the past two years.
