Marte (0-1) allowed six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Saturday.
Four of the eight hits Marte allowed went for extra bases, compounding his troubles in a poor start. This was his return to the rotation after last appearing out of the bullpen Sept. 11 with five scoreless innings against the Padres. Over 19.1 innings, Marte has a 4.66 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 11:9 K:BB across four games (two starts). With Logan Webb (finger) shut down for the year, there's room for Marte to draw another start in a rematch versus the Dodgers at home in the final series of the season.

Giants' Yunior Marte: Works out of bullpen Friday
Rotowire
Marte struck out four and allowed three hits and two walks over five scoreless innings of relief in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Padres.
Marte entered the game in the top of the fourth, but it's unclear if he was making a planned piggyback appearance behind starter Anthony Molina. The Giants turned to Marte after Molina was tattooed for seven earned runs on nine hits and two walks across three innings, with the right-hander needing 72 pitches to record his nine outs. Marte pitched impressively in long relief and now owns a 2.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 9:6 K:BB across his first 14.2 big-league innings. His strong performance Friday could put him back in the mix to make a start or two before the season comes to a close.

Giants' Yunior Marte: Piggybacks Wilkinson on Friday
Rotowire
Marte struck out two and allowed three earned runs on four hits and two walks across five innings of relief in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Mets.
After tossing 4.2 innings of one-run ball as a starter in his MLB debut last Saturday in the second game of a doubleheader versus the Diamondbacks, Marte was deployed as part of a piggyback tandem with Wilkinson. Both hurlers tossed exactly 62 pitches, but Marte worked longer and more effectively than Wilkinson, who yielded seven runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks over three innings. Wilkinson has started in all four of his appearances with the Giants, but the Giants have limited him to less than four innings on three occasions. The Giants could continue to have Wilkinson and Marte work in piggyback arrangement when the fifth spot in the rotation comes up as the team looks to limit the workloads for both young pitchers down the stretch.

Giants' Yunior Marte: Does well in debut
Rotowire
Marte allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader.
Marte's major-league debut went well, but he came up an out short of qualifying for the win. He threw 48 of 76 pitches for strikes. Marte has a path to staying in the majors the rest of the way -- entering the doubleheader, the Giants had two holes in their rotation due to recent pitching injuries. Marte has logged a total of 112.1 innings this year, up from 102 last year, so there may be a slight workload restriction in place for the 23-year-old even if he sticks around.

Giants' Yunior Marte: Making major-league debut Saturday
Rotowire
Marte is scheduled to start in the second leg of the Giants' doubleheader against the Diamondbacks on Saturday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The Giants need another arm for Saturday's nightcap, and while a corresponding move has yet to be announced, it will be the 22-year-old Marte who toes the rubber for Game 2. The right-hander has split his time between High-A Eugene and Double-A Richmond, combining for an 8-5 record in 22 games (20 starts) with a 3.85 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 113:41 K:BB over 107.2 innings.
