Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (undisclosed) was scratched from the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was a late scratch for undisclosed reasons. The 28-year-old came off the bench for Game 1 and went 2-for-2 with two RBI. It's unknown at this time if Marte is dealing with an injury. Jake Hager replaced him in the lineup as the team's starting second baseman and is batting eighth. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation as Marte was out of the lineup for both contests of Tuesday's doubleheader. Stay tuned.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. After an incredibly slow start, Marte has hit .333/.419/.630 in his last 15 games to boost his season line to .219/.299/.383 with two home runs, nine RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases in 35 games played. He should be back in the lineup for Game 2 on Tuesday night against Dodgers left-hander Tyler Anderson. Jake Hager is getting the start at the keystone in Game 1 and is hitting ninth in the lineup against Dodgers right-handed rookie Ryan Pepiot. Hager is 2-for-18 with no home runs, two RBI and 11 strikeouts in his 22 plate appearances this year. Look elsewhere in DFS.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte isn't in the lineup on Monday for a matchup with the Miami Marlins and right-handed starter Pablo Lopez. So far this season, Marte is batting .151 with a .213 on-base percentage, one home run, and one stolen base in 94 plate appearances. Instead, Geraldo Perdomo is getting the start at second base on Monday at batting ninth. Perdomo is hitting .178 with a .362 on-base percentage and a stolen base in 58 plate appearances this season. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues where on-base percentage isn't part of the scoring are probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming options.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte went 1-for-4 with a double in the Diamondbacks' 10-3 loss to the New York Mets on Friday. Despite the extra-base hit, Marte is off to a very sluggish start in 2022 batting just .160/.267/.240 with no home runs, two RBI, two doubles, and one stolen base over his first 25 at-bats. The Diamondbacks recently locked up Marte to a five-year extension and he is coming off a solid 2021 in which he slashed .318/.377/.532 with 14 HR, 50 RBI in just 340 at-bats. Fantasy managers should keep Marte active, despite the slow start, as he will prove to be a reliable source of production in the middle of the Arizona batting order.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte has agreed to a five-year extension with the organization. His deal includes $51 million in additional guaranteed money and is worth $76 million in total. This new deal covers three additional free agent years. The Diamondbacks have locked up their cornerstone switch-hitting infielder for the next half-decade. The 28-year-old is coming off a strong season in 2021. Fantasy managers should expect Marte to remain a reliable source of production in the D-Backs order.

The Arizona Diamondbacks and outfielder Ketel Marte have been engaged in extension talks, according to FanSided's Robert Murray. He has one year (plus two club options) remaining on his contract, but it appears there is mutual interest towards striking a long-term deal. It's an important development out of Arizona considering Marte's name has been floated in trade talks from time to time. The Diamondbacks could get a haul for the 28-year-old, but they would undoubtedly prefer to keep him under contract as their starting center fielder (and occasional second baseman) for as long as possible. In 2021, Marte slashed .318/.377/.532 while finishing near the top of the league in xBA, xwOBA, and exit velocity. Now, RotoBaller's latest rankings list him as the No. 23 outfielder heading into 2022 fantasy drafts.

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo expects second baseman Ketel Marte (eye) to make his first Cactus League appearance on Tuesday as the designated hitter. Marte suffered from eye irritation due to his contact lenses and was held out of workouts the first few days of camp. He has been taking live batting practice and fielding high-intensity ground balls, so it looks like he's ready to go. Marte was an All-Star in 2019 but played in only 90 games last season due to injury. But when he was on the field, the 28-year-old switch-hitter slashed .318/.377/.532 with 14 home runs, 50 RBI and 52 runs scored in 374 plate appearances. Marte should be fully healthy heading to Opening Day and ranks as RotoBaller's No. 8 fantasy second baseman.

Arizona Diamondbacks' second baseman Ketel Marte is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He will take a seat for the year's final game after starting in the past eight contests. Barring a pinch-hit appearance, Marte will finish the 2021 season slashing .319/.378/.534 slash line, 14 homers, 50 RBI, 52 runs scored, and two stolen bases over 373 plate appearances. Josh VanMeter will handle second base duties and is batting second in Sunday's game. He went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Rockies. VanMeter is a deep-league option for fantasy managers looking for a streamer in today's main slate.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is getting a breather on Thursday as the team takes on Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves. Josh VanMeter is drawing the start at second base and batting fifth in the game. Marte started the week off strong with a three-double game on Monday. He's slashing .273/.368/.485 over the month of September as a whole. The 27-year-old has had very little support in a weak Diamondbacks lineup this year, but he's still managed to produce fantastic stats when healthy. His .307 xBA ranks in the 98th percentile of the league while his 116 mph max exit velocity ranks in the 97th percentile.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte isn't starting for a Friday matchup with the Houston Astros and right-hander Brandon Bielak. The veteran is batting .323 with a .384 on-base percentage, 12 home runs, and a stolen base in 315 plate appearances this season. He'll get the day off with Jake McCarthy hitting ninth and starting in center field instead. In 33 plate appearances for the Diamondbacks this season, McCarthy is hitting .214 with a .313 on-base percentage and a stolen base. You're probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming help on Friday.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (hip) was removed from Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to right hip discomfort. He was replaced in the game by Daulton Varsho in the sixth inning, though it's unclear when or how Marte sustained the injury. He went 1-for-4 in the game before exiting. Marte has missed extended time this year due to separate hamstring injuries. He should be considered day-to-day at this point, but the 44-85 Diamondbacks are likely to exceed caution with him. Over 59 games this year, Marte has slashed .348/.401/.548 with seven home runs, 32 RBI and 34 runs.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte went 3-for-4 with a double and one RBI in a 5-2 loss to the Rockies on Saturday. He's been red-hot at the plate over his last seven games now, slashing .357/.419/.786 with two homers, five RBI and four runs scored. Despite missing time with injury, Marte has still produced solid numbers at the plate this season, hitting .350 with a .948 OPS, six homers, one steal, 28 RBI and 32 runs scored over 54 games. He'll look to keep things rolling in the series finale with Colorado on Sunday.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, a walk, one RBI and a run scored in a 9-4 loss to the Rockies on Friday. He extended his on-base streak to nine games, as he's now slashing .316/.381/.658 with two homers, five RBI and six runs scored over that span. Despite missing a significant portion of the season due to injury, Marte has still put up good results at the plate, slashing .342/.394/.538 with six homers, one steal, 27 RBI and 32 runs scored across 53 games. He'll look to extend this on-base streak to double-digits on Saturday.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte is getting the day off on Thursday as the team faces Zack Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies. Daulton Varsho is getting the start in center field and batting fifth in the game. Marte has struggled a bit since returning from the injured list on August 1. Over 15 games this month, he's slashed .267/.323/.433 with just one home run. He's been making a lot of good contact this year so far as his 49.4% hard-hit rate is a career-best clip. During his breakout 2019 season, his hard-hit rate was only 40%. He also has a remarkable xBA of .320 this year, which supports his strong season-long batting average of .338. He should give fantasy managers a big boost in batting average throughout the rest of the year while adding a good amount of power as well.

Arizona Diamondbacks center fielder Ketel Marte isn't in the team's lineup on Saturday. The Diamondbacks will match up with right-hander Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres but will do so without arguably their best hitter. In 171 plate appearances, Marte is hitting .359 with a .409 on-base percentage, four home runs, and a stolen base. Pavin Smith is moving over to center field to start in Marte's place and is batting second. The 25-year-old could be worth a look as a streaming option in deeper leagues. In 388 plate appearances, this season Smith is hitting .273 with a .332 on-base percentage, nine home runs, and a stolen base.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte went 1-for-4 at the plate in his first game back from the injured list on Sunday against the Dodgers. That extended his hitting streak to nine games going back to June, as he's slashing .452/.500/.613 with one steal, seven RBI and eight runs scored in that span. Marte has been limited to just 38 games this year due to injuries, but he's been able to produce good numbers at the plate when healthy, as he's slashing .367/.414/.547 with four homers, one steal, 21 RBI and 24 runs scored this season. Hopefully he can stay healthy in the second half and continue to produce similar numbers.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday, the team announced on Twitter. Marte has been out since the end of June with a hamstring strain, as injuries have limited him to just 37 games this season. But when he's been on the field, he has been raking at the plate as he's slashing .370/.419/.556 with four homers, one steal, 21 RBI and 24 runs scored. He did not appear in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers, but there's a good chance he'll be in the lineup on Sunday for the finale.
