What happened to Ketel Marte? What we know about Diamondbacks no-show.
The Diamondbacks are still awaiting more word from All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte, who did not show up for the team's game Monday in Boston.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are still awaiting more information about All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte, who failed to appear for their game in Boston on Monday night. Manager Torey Lovullo revealed that Marte was placed on the restricted list and was replaced on the roster by Class AAA infielder José Fernández. Outfielder Lars Nootbaar assumed Marte's role as the designated hitter in the starting lineup.
Lovullo was only informed that Marte is dealing with a "personal issue." It remains unclear where Marte currently is, but he had traveled from Atlanta to Boston on the team plane the previous day. Diamondbacks General Manager Mike Hazen stated that Marte was still in Boston, but the timing of his return to the team is uncertain.
Both teammates, Corbin Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo, expressed sympathy for Marte and emphasized the team's support for one another during personal challenges.
