The Giants optioned Marte to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.
The Giants won't need Marte for the rest of the year following his start Friday, so they'll send him down in order to bring in more bullpen depth in the form of Seth Lonsway. The 23-year-old Marte will finish the year with a 4.44 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 24.1 innings after making the jump from Double-A directly to MLB in late August.

Giants' Yunior Marte: Gets no help in loss
Rotowire
Marte (0-2) allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Dodgers.
Marte allowed solo home runs to Teoscar Hernandez and Andy Pages in the second inning. Aside from those blasts, it was a decent performance for Marte in his last outing of the campaign, but the Giants mustered just three hits all game. Marte ends 2026 with a 4.44 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB across 24.1 innings over five games (three starts) in the majors, as well as a 3.92 ERA in 64.1 innings for Double-A Richmond. Don't be surprised if the Giants have Marte stay away from the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League by putting him back in Double-A if he misses out on the Opening Day roster next year.

Giants' Yunior Marte: Hit hard in first loss
Rotowire
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 frames this year, 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: 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.

The Giants selected Marte's contract from Double-A Richmond ahead of his scheduled start against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
The move is now official, with Marte joining the Giants to start in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader. He has made 13 starts in Double-A since early June, posting a 3.92 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 72:22 K:BB over 64.1 innings. In corresponding moves, Seth Lonsway was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento and Casey Schmitt (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list.
