Diamondbacks place Ketel Marte on injured list after meeting following bizarre no-show
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Diamondbacks star second baseman Ketel Marte was placed on the injured list due to left knee inflammation after missing a game in a mysterious situation that puzzled the team.
- Marte received an injection and underwent an MRI that confirmed inflammation, with hopes he can return after the minimum 10-day IL period.
- The team initially placed Marte on the restricted list after he no-showed Monday’s game against the Red Sox despite traveling with the team, leading to confusion and last-minute lineup changes.
- General Manager Mike Hazen and CEO Derrick Hall described the situation as baffling and a “complete mystery,” with limited details disclosed and Marte citing a “personal issue” initially.
- This incident follows a previous absence after the 2025 All-Star Break when Marte missed games due to a robbery at his home, though those absences were not considered no-shows.
