Ketel Marte DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Friday, and outfielder Jorge Barrosa was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Thursday in a corresponding move. Arizona's starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the hosting Philadelphia Phillies isn't out yet, but fantasy managers should expect Marte to be back in there against left-hander Jesus Luzardo. The 31-year-old All-Star is finally back with the Snakes since landing on the IL on April 15 with a left-hamstring strain. Although the matchup isn't a great one against Luzardo, fantasy managers will want to get Marte back in their lineups in all redraft leagues. Before landing on the shelf, the Dominican switch-hitter had yet to homer in 26 at-bats, but he was hitting .346 with a .469 on-base percentage and .930 OPS.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (hamstring) took five at-bats and played four innings in the field at second base on Monday, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Marte took the day off on Tuesday and is scheduled to build up to six or seven innings defensively on Wednesday, and he's still likely to come off the injured list this weekend. The 31-year-old All-Star has been on the injured list with a strained left hamstring since April 5 but figures to return to the team's starting lineup this weekend on the road for a series against the Philadelphia Phillies. When he returns, fantasy managers will be stoked to get him right back in their starting lineups. Before his hamstring injury, Marte had picked right up where he left off a year ago, slashing .346/.469/.462 in 26 at-bats, although he's still searching for his first home run of 2025.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (hamstring) was packing in the clubhouse on Sunday and confirmed that he will play in Philadelphia, according to Jack Sommers of SI.com. Arizona is expected to make the trip to Philly for three games starting on Friday, May 2. Marte has been sidelined since April 5 with a hamstring strain after only playing in eight games in 2025. He'll look to reclaim his title as the best fantasy second baseman after he had a breakout 2024 to the tune of a .292/.372/.560 slash line with 36 home runs.
