Newsbreakers
August 21, 2009
The New York Post reports that the Yankees have activated reliever Damaso Marte from the 60-day disabled list.
Our View:
Marte had a solid rehab stint after dealing with shoulder tendinitis. Assuming he's healthy he'll be a nice late-inning lefty option out of the pen. Ramiro Pena was sent down to make room.
August 21, 2009
The New York Post is reporting that the Yankees plan to activate reliever Damaso Marte before Friday's game. The team has not announced a corresponding move, but it is likely to be a position player.
Our View:
Marte hasn't had a great rehab stint, so the Yanks will likely ease him back into the bullpen. Don't expect to see him in a close game this weekend, but if anything gets out of hand he could toss a few innings.
August 1, 2009
Reliever Damaso Marte (shoulder) tossed a scoreless inning for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. The southpaw is now seven games into his rehab stint.
Our View:
Previous reports said that Marte's velocity was down, and he has been knocked around a bit at Triple-A. The Yankees aren't going to push him if he's not ready.
July 24, 2009
According to the New York Daily News, Yankees' reliever Damaso Marte threw a scoreless inning for Triple-A Scranton on Thursday. Marte is still recovering from left shoulder tendinitis, but his velocity is up to 93 MPH.
Our View:
Marte is getting closer and closer, and if his velocity continues to improve he could be back with the Yanks soon. The team likes what they see, but they won't bring him back until he is 100 percent.
July 22, 2009
According to the Journal News, Damaso Marte allowed one run on two hits and a walk during his one inning of work in his rehab assignment on Tuesday.
Our View:
Manager Joe Girardi thinks that Marte is at least a week away and said that "the results will dictate when he's ready" to return from his shoulder injury. His return would significantly deepen the Yankees pen.
July 21, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that Yankees' reliever Damaso Marte's rehab assignment has been moved to Triple-A Scranton. Marte is expected to make his first appearance for the team on Tuesday.
Our View:
Marte looks to be close to a return, and a few successful outings in Triple-A could get him back in the Yanks' bullpen sooner rather than later. He will not be fantasy relevant as a middle reliever upon his return, but if he is completely healthy he could add depth to an already solid New York bullpen.
July 20, 2009
The New York Post is reporting that Yankees' pitcher Damaso Marte is not expected to rejoin the team this week. Marte is on a rehab assignment at the Gulf Coast League, and manager Joe Girardi believes Marte needs more work.
Our View:
Marte's velocity was reportedly up in his last outing on Saturday, but Girardi doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry to get Marte back. With the dominance of Phil Hughes in the setup role, Marte will not need to be rushed back to New York until he is fully ready.
July 16, 2009
Damaso Marte allowed one earned run on two hits over one inning in the first outing of his rehab assignment with the Gulf Coast League Yankees, according to the New York Post.
Our View:
Marte has been on the shelf for two and a half months with weakness and tendinitis in his pitching shoulder. 11 of his 12 pitches landed for strikes, and he reported no issues with his shoulder. He will play in his next rehab game Saturday.
June 15, 2009
Damaso Marte will resume his throwing program in Tampa after visiting with Dr. James Andrews in Alabama, according to the Associated Press. Marte is dealing with weakness and tendinitis in his pitching shoulder.
Our View:
This is encouraging news for Marte, but he does not hold much fantasy value as a middle reliever.
June 13, 2009
According to the New York Daily News, Yankees' reliever Damaso Marte has suffered a setback in his rehab and is set to visit Dr. James Andrews to have his left shoulder examined. Marte hasn't pitched since April 25.
Our View:
The most dreaded trip a major league pitcher can make is the one to Birmingham to meet with Dr. Andrews. We won't know for a few days how the results turn out, but it is safe to say Marte's 2009 season is very much in doubt. Stay tuned for updates on his condition.
June 5, 2009
Damaso Marte threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Friday, according to the Star-Ledger. He is rehabbing an inflamed left shoulder.
Our View:
Skipper Joe Girardi noted that his session went well. Marte could return to the Yankees' bullpen soon, but does not hold much fantasy value as a middle reliever.
June 3, 2009
According to the Journal News, Damaso Marte is slated to throw a bullpen session on Friday.
Our View:
Marte is still at least two weeks away from rejoining the Yankees due to lingering shoulder tendinitis. He will likely be re-evaluated after the bullpen session. The Yankees don't want to bring him back until he's healthy and effective. He has been neither this season with a 15.19 ERA in 5.1 innings.
May 25, 2009
Damaso Marte has resumed throwing off flat ground Monday, according to the Associated Press. He is recovering from tendinitis in his left shoulder.
Our View:
Marte could be back in early June, but he allowed nine earned runs and three homers over 5.1 innings of relief prior to going down, and is not worth waiting for in fantasy leagues.
May 3, 2009
The New York Daily News is reporting that the Yankees have placed Damaso Marte on the 15-day DL with tendinitis in his shoulder. Anthony Claggett will be called up to replace him.
Our View:
Marte has been dealing with some shoulder issues, and combined with the fact that he has been awful so far this season, the Yankees put him on the DL. Marte doesn't figure to be much better when he comes back, but you never know.
March 18, 2009
Damaso Marte reported no issues following a 30-pitch pen session on Tuesday, according to the NY Daily News. He has been dealing with inflammation in his throwing shoulder.
Our View:
He will throw again tomorrow, and could pitch in a game this weekend. Marte could be the Yankees' setup man if healthy.
March 14, 2009
Damaso Marte's physical exam on Saturday showed inflammation in his throwing shoulder, according to the Journal News.
Our View:
Marte will likely be shut down for an indefinite period. He is competing for a set up job in the Yankees' bullpen.
March 13, 2009
Damaso Marte has been experiencing tightness in his chest and will be evaluated by team doctors on Saturday. His return to the team from the WBC will be delayed.
Our View:
Marte finished the year strong with the Yankees and should be a valuable piece of the bullpen in 2009, but he has little fantasy value as a middle reliever.
