Marte missed 80 games this season because of a suspension stemming from a positive test for Nandrolone, an anabolic steroid. In the 77 games he played, he had a .333 on-base percentage, seven home runs, 21 stolen bases and a .275 average.

Marte previously played for Escogido before the 2012, ‘13 and ‘14 seasons but has not played since the ‘13-’14 offseason.
