Buck Showalter provides an update on Starling Marte: pic.twitter.com/brCAHl4ncj

NY Post: Starling Marte exits Mets game after getting drilled in head by pitch. "Initial concussion tests were negative, and Marte was coherent in conversation, according to manager Buck Showalter."
Mets.com: Marte going for more tests after beaning. Initial concussion tests come back negative for outfielder: 'He may have gotten lucky'.
MLB Trade Rumors: Mets’ Bryce Montes de Oca Suffers Forearm Strain: "Mets right-hander Bryce Montes de Oca left today’s Spring Training outing due to a forearm strain, manager Buck Showalter told reporters (including The Athletic’s Tim Britton). Montes de Oca will undergo tests and imaging to determine the extent of the injury, and there is certainly plenty of extra concern considering de Oca’s history of arm troubles. The 26-year-old underwent a Tommy John surgery back in 2013 when he was a high school pitcher, and he had another elbow procedure while pitching at the University of Missouri."
Mets.com: "It was an ill-timed blow for Montes de Oca, the team’s No. 22 prospect per MLB Pipeline who had presented himself well in camp over his first two outings, reaching 101 mph with significant movement on his pitches."
As we had yesterday on Mets News and Links: Mets place Zach Greene on Waivers (Sources).
Anthony DiComo Mets.com: If Greene clears waivers, the Mets will be obligated to offer him back to the Yankees for a $50,000 fee -- half the price it cost to draft him...The only way Greene can stick in the organization is if he clears waivers and the Yankees opt not to reacquire him, at which point the Mets could outright him to the Minors.
NY Post: Mets’ Brandon Nimmo makes delayed spring training debut in hopes of staying fresh. "Nimmo said he’s on a schedule that will culminate with him playing nine innings on consecutive days before spring training concludes, and if he feels the need for extra at-bats against live pitching he could always wander over to the minor league complex."
NY Post: Mets’ Ronny Mauricio keeps homering as he launches 452-foot blast.

Transactions:
New York Mets traded Mardie Cornejo to the Detroit Tigers for Ed Glynn on March 13, 1979.
Detroit Tigers claimed Shane Halter of the New York Mets on waivers on March 13, 2000.
1979 | The Tigers and Mets swap relievers, with Detroit sending Ed Glynn to the Big Apple in exchange for Mardie Cornejo, who, after posting a 4-2 record as a rookie last season, will never play in another major league game. In contrast, the latest addition to the New York bullpen will make 84 appearances, compiling an ERA of 3.53 during the two years with his new club. |
2001 | Throwing 22 strikes out of 29 pitches over two innings of shutout ball in his surprise start against the Mets at Roger Dean Stadium, Rick Ankiel makes his first appearance since the 2000 playoffs, in which he lost his control, throwing seven wild pitches in three postseason appearances. |
2006 | Three pitches into the top of the seventh inning, the stadium lights at Tradition Field partially fail. With fifty percent of the lighting not functioning, the exhibition game ends, after a 15-minute delay, with the Mets leading the Nationals, 10-4. |
1969 - In addition to this year's lower mound and tightened strike zone, Major League Baseball tries an experimental ball with 10% more resiliency for a spring training game between the Mets and Tigers in Lakeland, Florida. It has an all-rubber center instead of a cork and rubber core, and the seams are higher than the regular ball. Mets pitcher Don Cardwell surrenders three home runs in the 4th inning to Dick McAuliffe, Norm Cash, and Gates Brown in the Tigers' 7 - 4 victory. Tomorrow, in Phoenix, Arizona, the same ball is used in the Giants' 13 - 1 win over the Angels, with Bobby Bonds hitting the only two homers off George Brunet. The players agree the ball is definitely livelier and sounds louder coming off the bat.
2001 - At spring training, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Rick Ankiel makes his first appearance since the 2000 playoffs in which he lost his control throwing seven wild pitches in three postseason appearances. Ankiel throws 22 strikes out of 29 pitches over two innings of shutout ball in his surprise start against the Mets, but his control problems will reappear within a short while.
3/13/1979 Johan Santana is born. After being traded to the Mets prior to the 2008 season, Santana led the majors with a 2.53 ERA and finished third in the NL Cy Young voting. In 2012, he threw the first no-hitter in Mets history.@johansantana pic.twitter.com/F1noxGFrk3
