NEW YORK — Injuries old and new kept catcher Chris Stewart and outfielder Starling Marte out of the lineup Thursday night.
Stewart continues to deal with a slew of injuries. He has bruised foot caused by two foul balls, a banged-up knee from a collision at the plate, a bruised elbow and ribs after getting hit by a pitch — “He was very fortunate, it got both,” manager Clint Hurdle joked — and soreness after a backswing clipped him in the left cheek.
“Better place today. He could use another day,” Hurdle said.
