Fantasy Impact:

Marte, 36, says he’s played through pain his whole career—“I’ll keep doing it”—and though no spring debut’s set, he’s active in BP and fielding drills. After a 2024 bounce-back (94 regular games, six playoff), he’s slated for a short-side platoon at DH and outfield corners—Brandon Nimmo’s knee trouble might pad his early at-bats. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can grab him; extra reps could juice his value.
