Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte Hits Injured List Amid Stellar Season

MVP frontrunner sidelined with left ankle sprain, shaking up Arizona's playoff push.

Marte, with a .298 average and 30 homers, was key to the Diamondbacks' recent success.
The injury occurred during a pinch-hit appearance against the Rays, worsening a previous sprain.
Arizona was swept by Tampa Bay, marking their first series sweep since April.
Marte's absence leaves a significant gap in the lineup as the team faces the Marlins next.
Infielders Kevin Newman and Blaze Alexander will cover second base in Marte's absence.
