Overview

  • Marte is slated to make his season comeback as the designated hitter Monday night against the Houston Astros.
  • He reported losing roughly $400,000 in personal items and jewelry when his Scottsdale home was burglarized during the All-Star break.
  • The Diamondbacks placed him on MLB’s restricted list for the first two games of the second half before activating him ahead of Sunday’s St. Louis Cardinals game, where he appeared off the bench.
  • Scottsdale police and MLB security teams are actively investigating the break-in at his Arizona residence.
  • Marte requested time away to process the incident and has received ongoing emotional support from manager Torey Lovullo and the Diamondbacks’ staff.
