KETEL MARTE NEWS

Blasts 32nd home run Marte went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and three strikeouts in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Impact Marte got the scoring started Monday when he took Antonio Senzatela deep in the first inning. The 32 home runs have tied Marte's career high he set during the 2019 season. The 30-year-old seems to be finding his power stroke again since returning from an ankle injury, as he now has two homers and six RBI over his last five games. Overall, Marte is slashing .292/.366/.553 with 87 RBI in 124 games this season.

Back at second base Marte started at second base and went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, four RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 14-4 win over Texas.

Impact This was Marte's first game in the field since returning from an ankle injury last week. He served as the designated hitter his first three games back and was hitless over 11 at-bats before breaking out Wednesday. He led off the bottom of the first inning with a double and scored Arizona's first run, then his three-run homer in the fourth upped the Diamondbacks' lead to 8-2. Marte has 31 home runs -- one shy of his career high set in 2019 -- and 85 RBI through 120 games.

SEPTEMBER 9 • MLB.COM

On bench Sunday Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact Marte went 0-for-7 with a walk and four strikeouts as the designated hitter the past two games after being reinstated from the injured list Friday, and he'll receive a day off for the series finale in Houston. Luis Guillorme is starting at second base while Joc Pederson is back at designated hitter Sunday.

Serves as DH again Marte started at designated hitter, went 0-for-4 and was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 11-5 loss to Houston.

Impact Marte, who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday, served as the DH for a second consecutive game, as it appears the Diamondbacks want to be cautious. He had tried a couple of times to return from the injury in August only to aggravate it before eventually getting time on the IL to heal properly. Marte is hitless in nine plate appearances over the two games but did get a chance to run the bases Saturday, suggesting the ankle is okay now.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Hitless in return Marte served as the designated hitter, batted leadoff and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's 8-0 loss to the Astros.

Impact Marte, who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday, resumed his role as the team's leadoff batter against a lefty but didn't play the field. He missed two-and-a-half weeks due to an ankle sprain and could be brought back at a measured pace before returning to second base.

Activated from injured list The Diamondbacks reinstated Marte (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The 30-year-old landed on the injured list in mid-August due to an ankle sprain, but he's back with the Diamondbacks after a two-and-a-half-week absence. Marte has a .298/.370/.560 slash line with 30 homers through 116 games this season, and his return to the lineup will provide a major boost to Arizona's offense for the playoff push.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Could return this week Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Marte (ankle) could return during the team's Sept. 3-8 road trip, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Marte has been ramping up workouts in recent days and appears to be making significant progress. The second baseman has been sidelined since Aug. 19 with an ankle sprain but looks to be on track for activation either mid-week in San Francisco or this weekend in Houston.

Hitting in cages Marte (ankle) began hitting in a batting cage Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact It appears to be the first time Marte has swung a bat since landing on the injured list Aug. 19 with an ankle sprain. Manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that the 30-year-old infielder is no longer receiving treatment, though it remains unclear how far away he is from a return.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

To begin rehab soon Marte (ankle) is expected to begin running on a pool treadmill soon, MLB.com reports.

Impact It's unclear when the pool work will begin, or if Marte can return after a minimum stay on the IL. Marte, who injured his left ankle Aug. 10, had a couple of failed attempts to get back on the field, but the Diamondbacks finally added him to the 10-day injured list Aug. 19. The team decided Marte simply needed rest.

Kevin Newman and Blaze Alexander should fill in at second base while Marte is sidelined.
