Fairly quiet in return Marte went 1-for-5 with a strikeout in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Marte missed six games with a left hamstring injury. The lackluster return to action put him at a .257/.341/.431 slash line through 431 plate appearances this year. He's added 10 home runs, 42 RBI, 56 runs scored and four stolen bases, though he shouldn't be expected to run much since he's had hamstring issues off and on throughout the year. If Marte continues to serve as the designated hitter, Josh Rojas and Emmanuel Rivera should both be able to fit into the lineup regularly at second base and third base, respectively.

Back in starting nine at DH Marte (hamstring) will serve as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact He'll put an end to a six-game absence due to a left hamstring injury as he slots back in a non-defensive role. Because Marte already missed time earlier this season due to the hamstring issue, the Diamondbacks may not be inclined to rush him back into his everyday role at second base. Josh Rojas will man the keystone Sunday.

Serves as pinch hitter Marte (hamstring) entered Wednesday's game as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1 in a 3-2 win over the Giants.
Impact Marte pinch hit for Alek Thomas in the seventh but did not play the field beyond that plate appearanc, as Daulton Varsho replaced Thomas in center field. Marte's appearance as a pinch hitter suggests his hamstring injury is a minor one, and he could return to the starting lineup before the end of the week.

Injury may not be serious Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Marte's hamstring does not warrant a trip to the injured list, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Marte was removed from Sunday's game in Colorado during the ninth inning when he felt tightness in his left hamstring. Lovullo said there are no plans for Marte to undergo imaging, a sign that the team feels the injury is not serious. The Diamondbacks noted this was the third time Marte injured his hamstring while playing in Denver, and Lovullo said the second baseman will likely get one day off every time the team travels to Colorado. The Diamondbacks will be in Denver for a third and final time from Sept. 9 through 11.
