Marte’s Absence Rocks Diamondbacks | Amarillo News

Ketel Marte’s latest absence has the Diamondbacks on edge—again. The All-Star slugger, who’s hitting .270 with 21 homers and 67 RBIs this season, vanished from the team’s game in Boston, prompting manager Torey Lovullo to admit he was blindsided by the lack of communication. Marte reportedly returned to Phoenix for a knee check-up, but his silence—and last year’s mysterious trip to the Dominican Republic after a home break-in—have fans and coaches wondering what’s really going on. With Marte being one of the NL’s best hitters, the team’s patience is wearing thin as they wait for answers—and hope he returns soon.
