MILWAUKEE — Further investigation into Starling Marte’s back spasms did not reveal a more menacing underlying issue, head athletic trainer Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday.
Marte has not played since Sept. 5, but was available off the bench Tuesday night.
“We did look under the hood, and there was nothing that was too serious to prevent him from moving forward,” Tomczyk said.
Marte was close to returning to action over the weekend in Cincinnati before his back spasms flared again. He went through a workout before the Tuesday night game and another Wednesday that included further tests in the outfield.
