Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: GM noncommittal on return this season
Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen was noncommittal Wednesday when asked on the Wolf and Luke Show on 98.7 FM whether Marte (knee/personal) will return this season, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.
Marte was placed on the restricted list Monday after not showing up to Fenway Park for the Diamondbacks' game against the Red Sox as he tended to a personal matter. The second baseman has since flown back to Arizona, where he was scheduled to undergo an MRI on his left knee. He sat out Saturday's contest due to knee soreness but returned to the lineup Sunday. Hazen plans to meet with Marte face-to-face Thursday, and there could be more clarity on the 32-year-old's status after that meeting. The Diamondbacks begin a homestand Friday versus the Reds.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Managing knee issue
Marte (personal) is returning to Arizona on Tuesday to undergo an MRI on his left knee, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
The 32-year-old was placed on the restricted list Monday and didn't report to Fenway Park for the series opener against the Red Sox due to a personal matter, but he's apparently also dealing with a knee injury. Marte was considered day-to-day while tending to the personal issue, but a longer absence could be in store depending on what the MRI reveals. Marte previously missed out on a start Saturday against Atlanta due to left knee soreness before returning to the lineup a day later.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Tending to personal matter
Marte, who was placed on the restricted list Monday, didn't report to Fenway Park ahead of the Diamondbacks' game against the Red Sox due to a personal matter and is being considered day-to-day, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Marte's situation remains murky, and the Diamondbacks have yet to comment when the three-time All-Star might return to the team or whether he'll face any kind of discipline after he had been expected to play Monday. Ildemaro Vargas started at second base in the series opener in Boston and would be in store for more playing time if Marte misses additional games.

The Diamondbacks placed Marte on the restricted list Monday.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Returns to lineup
Marte went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Atlanta.
Marte was back on the field after being removed from Friday's game with soreness in his left knee. He was held out of Saturday's game before returning Sunday. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said the knee has been bothering him since the series against the Padres two weeks ago. It's possible the knee could continue to bark, prompting more days off going forward.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Back in lineup Sunday
Marte (knee) will start at second base and bat cleanup in Sunday's game in Atlanta, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.
Marte was lifted early in Friday's 2-0 win due to knee soreness, prompting the Diamondbacks to keep him on the bench for Saturday's 10-3 victory. The 32-year-old's knee appears to have responded well to the day of rest, so he'll settle back into his usual spot in the field and batting order in the series finale. Before his early exit Friday, Marte had been on a heater at the plate, going 7-for-15 with two home runs, one double, two walks, five RBI and four runs over his previous four contests.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Lifts homer in loss
Marte went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.
Marte has gone 5-for-12, including three extra-base hits, over his last three games. The second baseman had picked up just one over the six contests prior to this turnaround. While his first-inning blast Tuesday gave the Diamondbacks a 2-0 lead, they weren't able to add to the score after that. Marte is batting .249 with a .758 OPS, 21 homers, 66 RBI, 63 runs scored, 23 doubles, three triples and four stolen bases over 115 games this season.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Reaches 20-homer mark
Marte went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers.
Marte has regularly batted cleanup since July 25, but the results haven't really been there. He's 8-for-54 (.148) with two homers, two doubles and four RBI over his 14 contests in that spot. On the bright side, the second baseman secured his fourth straight 20-homer campaign with his long ball Sunday. He's hitting .244 with a .744 OPS, 64 RBI, 61 runs scored, 22 doubles, three triples and four stolen bases over 113 games this season and should be able to hit his way out of this slump eventually.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Not in Wednesday's lineup
Marte is not in the Diamondbacks' starting lineup against the Padres on Wednesday, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
Marte will receive a day off after going 0-for-6 with two walks and a strikeout over the first two games of the series. He had a .770 OPS before the All-Star break but is slashing .200/.269/.329 with two home runs, eight RBI and a 5:15 BB:K in 18 second-half games. With Marte on the bench, Ildemaro Vargas will start at the keystone and bat sixth.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Dropped to cleanup spot
Marte batted fourth and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Washington.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo shuffled the top four spots in the order, which included moving Marte from leadoff to cleanup. The Diamondbacks entered Saturday having scored the most runs in baseball since July 9, but it was largely due to the lower half of the order. Other than Gabriel Moreno, the top half has struggled. Marte entered Saturday batting .191 (9-for-47) with a 28.0 strikeout percentage during that stretch.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Returning to lineup Friday
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said on MLB Network Radio that Marte (back) will be back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, Dani Wexelman of Cardinals.tv reports.
Marte was a late scratch Thursday versus the Cardinals due to back tightness, but he'll be back in action following a one-day absence. The switch-hitting second baseman has struggled thus far in July, slashing .229/.276/.343 across 76 plate appearances.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Slugs homer in loss
Marte went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Athletics.
Marte got Arizona on the board when he took Jeffrey Springs deep in the sixth inning. This was Marte's first homer since he ended June with long balls in four consecutive games. He's hitting just .222 with four extra-base hits and five RBI over 15 contests in July. For the season, the second baseman is batting .258 with a .773 OPS, 18 homers, 58 RBI, 54 runs scored, 19 doubles, three triples and four stolen bases over 96 contests. His homer was his 100th hit of the campaign.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Swipes two bags in loss
Marte went 2-for-4 with a double, one RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Giants.
Marte wasn't able to extend his homer streak Wednesday, but he made up for it on the basepaths. The second baseman is up to three steals on the year, all of which have come in his last nine games. He probably won't pick up the pace much in terms of steal attempts, but he's doing enough with the bat lately to be a set-and-forget player at the keystone. Marte is now hitting .267 on the year with an .811 OPS, 17 home runs, 54 RBI, 48 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples over 82 contests.
