Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 29-year-old suffered lower-back tightness when sliding into home plate during Monday's contest. He sat out on Tuesday, but expects to be available off the bench during Wednesday's game while possibly returning on Thursday. Fantasy managers should consider Marte day-to-day. The hope is that he'll be back in the lineup on Thursday. In the meantime, Geraldo Perdomo will bat leadoff and cover second base versus left-hander Ranger Suarez.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is absent from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as this appears to be a routine rest day for Marte. Jose Rojas will cover second base and bat seventh against right-hander Zack Wheeler on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should expect Marte back in the lineup after this contest.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday against right-hander Karl Kauffmann and the Colorado Rockies. Marte has had at least one hit in eight of his last nine starts, but he'll get a breather to begin the week on Memorial Day. He's been very strong at the plate this month, going 30-for-96 (.313) with a double, two triples, four home runs, 13 RBI, four stolen bases and 13 runs scored in 24 games played. In doing so, he's managed to raise his season slash line to .282/.341/.472 with an .813 OPS, eight doubles, a league-leading four triples, seven homers, 21 RBI and five stolen bases in 217 trips to the plate over 50 games. Josh Rojas is starting at the keystone and hitting sixth on Monday, while Emmanuel Rivera is at the hot corner and batting fifth against Kauffmann.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs and two walks in the team's win over the Rangers. Marte has put together a fairly strong start to 2023, slashing .267/.325/.514 across 105 at-bats. He came with a discounted draft price to start the year after a down 2022, but the 29-year-old has rebounded thus far. As long as he's leading off or hitting second in the Arizona lineup with regularity, the switch-hitting Marte should remain a consistent option at second base for fantasy managers. He's got six RBI over his last four contests, and Marte will aim to stay locked in at the plate for an upcoming weekend series against the Nationals.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is getting a rest Thursday for the game against the San Diego Padres. The 29-year-old is hot at the plate, as he's seven for his last 17 and is batting .261 with two home runs, 12 runs, four RBI, and one stolen base overall through 17 games. Nick Ahmed is in the lineup instead, playing short and batting eighth to take on right-hander Michael Wacha. The two-time Gold Glove winner doesn't provide much with his bat but is hitting .316 with three steals to begin 2023. However, he's struggled against right-handers over his career with a .227 batting average and .622 OPS, so fantasy managers streaming Ahmed likely won't get much value.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 29-year-old returns to the lineup after getting a routine rest day on Sunday. Hopefully, the day off will help Marte get back into the swing of things. Through 14 games, Marte is hitting .218 with one home run and two RBI. He'll look to turn it around in the two-hole while playing second base against right-hander Jack Flaherty on Monday.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday, with the team recalling Buddy Kennedy to take his place on the roster. The team did not provide a reason as to the nature of Marte's injury, but his 2022 campaign is now over. Marte finishes the year hitting .240 with 12 homers, 68 runs, 52 RBI, and five steals in 137 games.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte ended a home run drought in the 4-0 win over the San Diego Padres on Thursday by going 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a strikeout. The round-tripper was Marte's first since July 27. The 28-year-old Dominican is now hitting .244/.325/.410 with the 11 home runs, 50 RBI, 63 runs scored and four stolen bases in 511 plate appearances over 125 games played. He's been a pretty big disappointment for fantasy managers since his 2019 All-Star season, in which he hit .329 and clubbed a career-high 32 home runs in 144 games. Marte is hitting just .182 (8-for-44) with a homer, five RBI, four runs scored and 11 strikeouts in 13 games this month.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (hamstring) is absent from the starting lineup on Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 28-year-old veteran has been dealing with some hamstring tightness so this is just a routine day off to give him some rest. Josh Rojas is taking over at the keystone and Emmanuel Rivera is sliding over to third base to pick up the slack on Sunday vs. Jason Alexander and the Brew Crew.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (hamstring) is still absent from the lineup on Saturday vs. the St. Louis Cardinals. This will be the sixth straight contest that the 28-year-old has missed due to left hamstring tightness. Josh Rojas is starting at second base while Emmanuel Rivera is taking over at designated hitter. Marte is hoping to avoid a trip to the injured list but hasn't appeared in a game since Wednesday (8/17) when he pinch-hit. Fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on his status.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (knee) is being held out of action for Monday's game against right-hander Alex Cobb and the San Francisco Giants. Marte is dealing with a strained left hamstring, an injury that caused him to be removed from Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He is being considered day-to-day for now. Josh Rojas is getting the start at the keystone for Monday's game. Marte has been struggling at the plate so far in August, slashing .217/.280/.261 across the first half of the month. He owns a .258/.344/.435 slash line on the year to go along with 10 homers, 42 RBI and 56 runs.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte (hamstring) and outfielder/catcher Daulton Varsho (jaw) both left Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies early due to injuries. Marte exited with left hamstring tightness after running the bases in the ninth inning. Manager Torey Lovullo said the team is hoping it's nothing serious and that Marte will return to the starting lineup soon. Varsho was hit in the jaw by a baseball that was tossed to him as the outfielders were running into the dugout between innings. Lovullo said Varsho could have continued playing but he was removed as a precautionary measure. It sounds like both players should be available for fantasy managers soon, but it remains to be seen if they'll be available for the doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants on Monday.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte had a big game Friday against the Washington Nationals, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, four RBI, and two runs scored.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against right-hander Chad Kuhl and the Colorado Rockies. Marte has been relegated to designated hitter duties lately, but Cooper Hummel will be slotting in as designated hitter for Sunday's game. Marte went 2-for-4 in Saturday's game and hit his fifth home run of the year. The 28-year-old has certainly been underwhelming at the plate thus far in 2022. He currently owns a .264/.351/.424 slash line and his underlying metrics don't look much better. He has a .381 xSLG as well as a 42% hard-hit rate, down from 48.4% last year. Hopefully the veteran can start picking up the pace soon.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Ketel Marte (hamstring) will be back in action for Tuesday night's game against the San Diego Padres. He will be batting third and slotting in as designated hitter for the game. Marte missed each of the team's last four games with what was described as a mild left hamstring strain. The 28-year-old was swinging the bat well prior to the injury. Over his first 14 games this month, he slashed .300/.397/.540 with eight extra-base hits (six doubles and two homers).

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Fantasy managers need to make sure to pull Marte out of their Saturday lineups. Marte has been pretty strong so far in the month of June, going 10-for-32 (.313) with two home runs, four RBI and five runs scored in nine games to raise his season slash line to .268/.341/.439 with four round-trippers, 20 RBI, 28 runs scored and three stolen bases in 229 plate appearances. Jake Hager is starting at the keystone on Saturday and is hitting eighth in the batting order against Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler. Hager doesn't have much DFS appeal at all, as he's hit just .160 with no homers in 25 at-bats for the Snakes this year.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder/outfielder Ketel Marte (wrist, rest) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. He missed Friday's game and a pair of games earlier in the week due to a wrist injury. However, it appears Marte has avoided a major injury and is back in the lineup on Saturday. He'll bat third and play second base versus left-hander Justin Steele. Fantasy managers should make sure Marte is back in their lineups.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman/outfielder Ketel Marte (hand) is back at second base and is hitting third in the batting order on Thursday against Chicago Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman.

The 28-year-old switch-hitter has been red-hot at the plate in May, slashing .375/.464/.625 with a 1.089 OPS, one homer, five RBI, 10 runs scored and a steal in 48 at-bats over 14 games. Hopefully, he'll be able to pick up right where he left off after missing the last two games. Overall, Marte is hitting .231/.308/.392 with two home runs, 11 RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases in 36 games.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman/outfielder Ketel Marte (hand) is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Marte was scratched from the second game of a doubleheader on Tuesday with a sore left hand, and he'll miss another game as a result. Jake Hager is getting another start at the keystone and is hitting ninth on Wednesday against Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler. Marte got off to a slow start but has picked things up recently and is now batting .231/.308/.392 with two home runs, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases through his first 36 games of the season. Fantasy managers should ignore Hager in DFS contests Wednesday.
