KETEL MARTE NEWS

Avoids serious injury Marte (ankle) will likely miss Sunday's game against the Phillies but expects to play Monday against Colorado, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact After being slid into by Garrett Stubbs on Saturday and folding awkwardly, Marte expects to miss only one game with what's being labeled a bruised left ankle. The Diamondbacks determined that X-rays were unnecessary, a very positive sign for the second baseman. While he'll get a day off Sunday, Marte should be back in action Monday -- a favorable outcome considering he appeared to be in significant pain following the collision.
