Torey Lovullo Admits He Felt 'Betrayed' by Ketel Marte
Ketel Marte was moved to the 10-day injured list after an MRI showed right knee inflammation, while manager Torey Lovullo said the team felt betrayed.
- On Monday, the Arizona Diamondbacks placed second baseman Ketel Marte on the restricted list following an unexcused absence before his move to the 10-day injured list Thursday due to right knee inflammation.
- Manager Torey Lovullo attributed the absence to frustration regarding a left knee injury, noting that Marte had been 'busting hard' while playing a high volume of games this year.
- Lovullo admitted feeling 'betrayed' by the sudden desertion, yet a Thursday meeting with General Manager Mike Hazen proved 'productive' in addressing the turmoil between both parties.
- Marte began rehabbing in Scottsdale on Friday, with the team hopeful he will rejoin the roster in 11 days to bolster the Diamondbacks' Wild Card push.
- Despite the tension, Lovullo expressed his 'love and respect' for the infielder, emphasizing the organization's focus on getting Marte healthy for the season's final stretch.
