Ketel Marte returns to Diamondbacks lineup

Overview

Ketel Marte has returned to the Arizona Diamondbacks lineup for a series against the Philadelphia Phillies following an unexcused absence that began on August 17. Marte, who was previously placed on the restricted list and then the 10-day injured list for left knee inflammation, described his decision to miss a game in Boston as a “moment of frustration” caused by physical pain and personal matters.

During his return to Chase Field, Marte drew attention for wearing a hat featuring the phrase “may the bridges I burn light the way.” Marte claimed he was unaware of the specific meaning of the message, noting that Spanish is his first language. Manager Torey Lovullo suggested the phrase might signify Marte taking accountability for his recent actions. Marte has expressed a desire to apologize to his teammates to restore clubhouse unity as the team pursues a National League wild-card spot.

In a separate incident during a Tuesday bullpen session, Marte hit a 113 mph home run that struck a grounds crew member in the head. Marte immediately halted practice to check on the individual. The crew member was able to sit down and eventually shook hands with Marte; no official injury has been reported.
