Marte (ankle) is in the lineup at shortstop and batting ninth Sunday against the Astros.
Marte suffered a mild ankle sprain in Friday's series opener and was forced to miss Saturday's game, but after testing out the injury in the field and during batting practice Sunday, he's been cleared to return. The fact that the Mariners are using Marte at his usual shortstop post rather than at DH suggests that the injury isn't compromising his lateral quickness too much. He'll likely be on tap for a full slate of starts this week.
