  "account": "Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is currently experiencing personal issues, resulting in his exclusion from Monday's lineup. Francys Romero reported that Marte was on the restricted list due to his unavailability on Monday. The restricted list has no specific time limit, allowing Marte to return to the team whenever he feels fit. Jose Fernandez was called up from Triple-A to replace Marte on the roster. Fernandez appeared in the Diamondbacks' loss to the Red Sox as the team's new designated hitter. Marte has been a valuable offensive contributor for the Diamondbacks, hitting 21 home runs and driving in 67 RBIs on the season. His OPS has remained above average throughout the year. However, the Diamondbacks are currently one game behind the San Diego Padres in the Wild Card race. The team's performance will rely heavily on Marte's return, as his replacements have not matched his productivity.",
