D-backs manager Lovullo: Marte returns to Phoenix for knee testing, hopeful he can play again in ’26
Torey Lovullo said he hopes the All-Star second baseman can return this season after Arizona cited a lack of communication and a personal issue.
- On Monday, the Arizona Diamondbacks placed 32-year-old Ketel Marte on the restricted list, marking the second time in as many seasons the team has taken this action.
- Marte failed to appear for Monday's 11-1 loss at Boston, and manager Torey Lovullo, who last spoke to him Monday morning, received little information regarding his absence.
- While absent from the team, Marte was active on social media Tuesday and reportedly traveled to Phoenix for tests on his left knee while dealing with "personal" matters.
- Infielder Jose Fernandez was recalled to replace the All-Star, with Lovullo stating, "We need him," and calling him "one of the best players in the National League."
- Last season, the franchise placed Marte on the restricted list after his Scottsdale home was burglarized during the All-Star break, prompting him to fly to the Dominican Republic.
