Phillies start 3-game series against the Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks will start a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday, May 2, 2025, at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
The Diamondbacks have activated infielder Ketel Marte from the injured list following a mild left hamstring injury he suffered while rounding the bases during an April 4 game against Washington.
Marte, who will bat leadoff and play second base, had been hitting.348 with one homer before his injury, and the Diamondbacks enter with a 17-14 record following recent wins.
Marte secured a six-year deal worth $116.5 million through 2031, with $46 million in deferred payments extending to 2040, and he ranked third in National League MVP voting last year after hitting a career-high 36 home runs.
The Phillies, holding a 17-14 record and favored at-152, will start Jesús Luzardo against Merrill Kelly, and experts advise betting under 9.5 total runs for the game starting at 6:45 p.m. ET.
