Ketel Marte expected to return to Diamondbacks lineup next week
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo announced that second baseman Ketel Marte is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list early next week. Marte has begun taking batting practice at the club’s preseason complex in Salt River Fields.
Marte was placed on the injured list following an MRI that revealed inflammation in his left knee. This follows a period where the 32-year-old was on the restricted list after missing a series against the Boston Red Sox due to unspecified personal matters.
The team is targeting a return for the upcoming home series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The timing is critical for the Diamondbacks as they compete in a close race for the National League Wild Card spot against the San Diego Padres.
