Ketel Marte Could Return to Diamondbacks Roughly 2 Weeks After Strange Disappearance

Ketel Marte has started batting practice and rehab in Arizona, and manager Torey Lovullo said the Diamondbacks expect him back for a home series.

  • Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo announced the team expects All-Star Ketel Marte to return from the injured list for the home series against the Philadelphia Phillies beginning August 31.
  • Following his unexpected disappearance before a game in Boston, Marte was placed on the restricted list, then moved to the 10-day injured list with mild left knee inflammation.
  • While rehabbing last week, Marte faced criticism after being spotted at a casino; manager Torey Lovullo stated the team wants to create a "softest space for him to re-emerge."
  • The 32-year-old has yet to address teammates regarding his absence as the Diamondbacks continue their push for the final National League Wild Card spot.
  • With the D-backs holding a 69-62 record, the team hopes Marte's return will bolster their lineup; over 469 at-bats this season, the veteran has recorded 21 home runs and an OPS+ of 107.
