Overview
- Ketel Marte did not report for the Diamondbacks’ game in Boston and was placed on MLB’s restricted list before the club learned why.
- The team sent Marte to Arizona for an MRI that showed left‑knee inflammation and moved him to the 10‑day injured list, a shift that could not be backdated.
- Photos posted on social media showed Marte at a local casino during a Diamondbacks home game, intensifying criticism of his conduct while he rehabs.
- Manager Torey Lovullo and executives met with Marte and described the meeting as productive while stressing that he must complete rehab work to return.
- The club is tentatively targeting activation around the start of the Diamondbacks’ series with the Phillies, a timing that could affect Arizona’s playoff push and has revived trade and trust questions.
