After making four straight starts, Marte will take a seat for Friday's series opener in Milwaukee. Jesse Winker will fill right field while J.D. Martinez plays DH.
Marte is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Phillies, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Jesse Winker is in right field for the series opener Thursday.
Marte went 1-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Nationals.
Marte missed two games with a forearm injury after he was hit by a pitch Saturday, though he appeared off the bench Monday. He went 4-for-10 with two walks and three RBI during this three-game series against the Nationals. The veteran outfielder has maintained a .275/.326/.399 slash line with 16 steals on 17 attempts, seven home runs, 40 RBI and 42 runs scored over 86 contests in another injury-plagued campaign.
