- Marte allowed three runs in 1/3 inning Sunday in the Dominican Republic's 7-1 loss to Puerto Rico. He did not pitch Tuesday night, when the Dominicans beat Venezuela to advance to the semifinals of the Classic in San Diego beginning Saturday.
"I have inflammation in the shoulder. We don't know what it is, but I'm going to Pittsburgh to be examined," Marte told the Associated Press before leaving Hiram Bithorn Stadium.
- Dominican Republic manager Manny Acta revealed the injury after his team's 2-1 win Tuesday night. He can choose a replacement from a pool of 13 pitchers listed on the Dominican Republic's provisional roster who were not included on the 30-man active squad.
- Marte made two appearances in the Classic and is 0-1 with a 20.25 ERA and two strikeouts in 1 1/3 innings.
