Marte (wrist) won't return to the lineup until Sept. 24 against the Cubs at the earliest, Nubyjas Wilborn of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Marte and Josh Bell (groin) are not being shut down and are still trying to get cleared to return to action before the end of the season. He can play in six games maximum over the rest of the season, and we probably won't know his status for the Cubs series until Tuesday.

Starling Marte (wrist) remains out of the Pirates' starting lineup on Wednesday.

Marte hasn't appeared in a game since last Tuesday due to a sprained wrist, and it's unclear whether he will be able to return to action before the end of the regular season. Bryan Reynolds, Kevin Kramer, and Erik Gonzalez are starting across the outfield for Pittsburgh on Wednesday versus the Mariners.
