Marte Missing Again, Diamondbacks Struggle | Pittsburgh News

Ketel Marte, Arizona’s star slugger and key wild card contender, vanished from Fenway Park just before game time — listed in the lineup but never showing up. Placed on the restricted list, he’ll forfeit pay and service time, a move signaling serious unexcused absence. While last year’s absence followed a home robbery and was met with his public apology, this time’s reason remains murky. With the Diamondbacks clinging to a one-game wild card lead over the Padres, Marte’s 21 homers and 67 RBIs this season make his sudden disappearance especially jarring — and fans are left wondering what’s next for the team’s cornerstone player.
