Ketel Marte doesn’t show up for game and is placed on the restricted list by Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks have placed All-Star infielder Ketel Marte on the restricted list following his absence from Monday night's game against Boston. No official reason was provided by the team for the decision. Starting pitcher Zach Eflin was recalled from the bullpen, while infielder Jose Fernandez was called up to take Marte's roster spot.
Marte, a three-time All-Star, has struggled this season, batting .249 with 21 home runs and 67 RBIs in 118 games. In 2020, Marte also went on the restricted list after his home was burglarized during the All-Star break. He later apologized for missing three games by flying back to his home in the Dominican Republic.
