Ketel Marte Returns After Mystery Absence | MLB News

Ketel Marte’s mysterious two-week absence from the Diamondbacks left the team in the dark—until he finally broke his silence, apologizing for missing a game in Boston due to knee inflammation and admitting he let his manager, Torey Lovullo, down. The team placed him on the restricted and injured lists as he returned to Phoenix for an MRI, but Marte is now focused on making amends, planning to speak with his teammates to prevent similar confusion. Lovullo defended his handling of the situation, noting Marte’s tendency to shut down under criticism, and urged patience as Marte rebuilds trust. Despite the hiccup, the Diamondbacks stayed strong at 7-6 without him, clinging to a wild card race—and everyone hopes this moment becomes a turning point for the team.
