Marte served as the designated hitter, batted leadoff and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's 8-0 loss to the Astros.

Marte, who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday, resumed his role as the team's leadoff batter against a lefty, though he didn't play the field. He missed two and a half weeks due to an ankle sprain and could be brought back at a measured pace before returning to second base.
