Ketel Marte - Battling knee sorenessMarte left Saturday's game against the Cubs in the seventh inning due to right knee soreness.

ImpactAfter fouling a ball off his right knee in the first inning, Marte's injury caught up to him in the seventh, and he was replaced at second base by Geraldo Perdomo. Marte's injury doesn't seem to be severe -- especially since he remained in the game after initially injuring his knee -- and he could potentially return to the lineup in a day or two.

Ketel Marte - Exits early SaturdayMarte was removed from Saturday's game against the Cubs in the seventh inning, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

ImpactMarte fouled a ball off his knee in the first inning of Saturday's contest, but he was able to stay in for another six innings afterward. The fact Marte was able to remain in the game for so long likely means he's not seriously injured, but the D-backs will surely keep an eye on him. Marte should be considered day-to-day for now.

Shane Greene - Remains in organizationThe Cubs sent Greene outright to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.

ImpactGreene was designated for assignment Wednesday in order to clear a roster spot for Luke Little, and he'll officially remain with the Cubs after clearing waivers. The 34-year-old righty holds a 2.16 ERA and 1.30 WHIP through 16.2 innings with Iowa this season, but he will likely finish the season in the minors now that he no longer has a spot on the 40-man roster.
