Picks up steal in loss Marte went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.

Impact Two of Marte's eight steals this season have come in September. He's hitting .313 (26-for-83) this month, an improvement on his .278 mark for the season. The second baseman has added an .849 OPS, 25 home runs, 82 RBI, 94 runs scored, 26 doubles and nine triples through 149 contests.

Returns to starting lineup Marte started at second base and went 2-for-4 with walk, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 15-4 win over the White Sox.

Impact Marte did not play Sunday's game due to an illness and was held out of the starting lineup Tuesday, although he entered that game as a pinch hitter. He's hit in five straight games when starting, going 10-for-20 with three home runs, a double, six RBI and seven runs scored.

Enters as pinch hitter Marte (Illness) walked as a pinch hitter in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Yankees.

Impact Marte walked for Jordan Lawlar in the eighth inning, loading the bases before Corbin Carroll drove in two with a single to give Arizona a brief lead that was wiped out in the bottom of the frame. Marte stayed in the game to play second base. He'd been dealing with a stomach bug that made him unavailable Sunday, but Monday's usage suggests he'll return to the starting lineup Tuesday, when Arizona will be in Chicago to start a three-game set with the White Sox.

Out Monday, plans to play Tuesday Marte (illness) is out of the lineup for Monday's series finale against the Yankees, but he said he expects to return to the starting nine for Tuesday's game against the White Sox,...

Impact Marte will hit the bench for the second game in a row while he recovers from a bout with the stomach flu, but he noted Monday that he's feeling better than he did a day earlier. He'll likely go through a workout early Tuesday before the Diamondbacks determine if he's fit to return to the lineup for the series opener in Chicago. With a .991 OPS thus far in September, Marte is doing his part to ensure the Diamondbacks stay in the thick of the National League wild-card race.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Monday Marte (illness) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Marte was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup due to illness and still isn't ready to go for Monday's afternoon tilt. Geraldo Perdomo will again handle second base while Jordan Lawlar starts at shortstop. Gabriel Moreno has been elevated to the two spot in the lineup where Marte usually resides.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Scratched with illness Marte was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Yankees due to an illness, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marte was penciled in to start his 11th straight game but will instead hit the bench due to the illness. Jordan Lawlar was added to the lineup at shortstop, pushing Geraldo Perdomo to second base.

Homers in win Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Giants.

Impact Marte followed up his perfect 4-for-4 day with a solo shot in the seventh inning for his 24th home run. The Diamondbacks won their fifth straight, all against wild card competitors, and Marte has been prominent in the streak. The second baseman went 8-for-21 with a double, two home runs, five RBI, four walks, a stolen base and five runs scored, as the Diamondbacks leapfrogged the Cubs for the second wild card spot while perhaps putting a dagger in the Giants playoff hopes.

Perfect at plate Tuesday Marte went 4-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Giants.

Impact This was Marte's first four-hit game of the season, though all of the hits were singles. The second baseman is batting .339 (21-for-62) over 16 games in September while adding 11 RBI and nine extra-base hits in that span. For the season, he's up to a .279/.360/.487 slash line with 23 home runs, 79 RBI, 90 runs scored and six stolen bases over 142 contests.
