Ketel Marte's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte appeared to re-aggravate his ankle injury during Sunday's game and was forced to leave the game early, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. Marte was pinch-hitting when he appeared to feel something on a check swing and had to be helped off the field. Marte is hitting .298/.370/.560 with 30 homers and 81 RBI this season. It's been a great year for Marte as he has established himself as one of the top fantasy second basemen, so this injury is frustrating for fantasy managers.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (ankle) will take a seat in Sunday's series finale. Marte missed three games earlier this week due to an ankle injury and but returned to the lineup on Saturday. However, the Diamondbacks will exercise caution with their star infielder and give him a day off on Sunday. As a result, Kevin Newman will cover the keystone and bat in the nine-hole. Marte has enjoyed a fantastic season and is near the top of the NL MVP odds with a .298/.370/.560 line with 30 long balls and six swiped bags. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the Arizona starting nine as Marte could be given the occasional rest day as he battles the lingering injury. Newman is worth a look as a value play in DFS on Sunday as the Rays will use the bullpen with southpaw Tyler Alexander slated to serve as the bulk option.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (ankle) remains out of the team's starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. Rookie Blaze Alexander will make another start at the keystone and will hit ninth against Rays right-hander Ryan Pepiot (knee), who is making his first start off the injured list. Marte is currently dealing with a low-grade ankle sprain that he suffered on Monday against the Colorado Rockies. If the 30-year-old is unable to return to action this weekend in Tampa, there's a chance he could land on the 10-day injured list. Marte is having a career year and is a must-start in all fantasy lineups when he's active. Alexander, 25, returned to the big-league roster earlier this week and has hit .253/.324/.352 in his first 162 major-league at-bats with three homers, 21 RBI and three steals. He's a low-upside DFS play in the nine-hole.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (ankle) remains out of action for Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Colorado Rockies at Chase Field. Rookie Blaze Alexander, who was recalled from Triple-A Reno, will make the start at second base and will bat eighth against Rockies right-hander Tanner Gordon. Marte initially injured his ankle on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies, didn't play on Sunday, and then aggravated his ankle in Monday's series opener against the Rockies. He will miss his second straight game on Wednesday with a low-grade ankle sprain, but the good news is the 30-year-old All-Star isn't expected to need a stint on the injured list. Until Marte is able to get back into the lineup, Alexander and Kyle Newman could split duties at the keystone. Marte has been a must-start in all fantasy lineups during an excellent 2024 campaign.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (ankle) has been diagnosed with a low-grade ankle sprain and is considered day-to-day, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Marte will avoid the injured list but will most likely sit out a second straight game on Wednesday in the series finale against the visiting Colorado Rockies at Chase Field. The 30-year-old All-Star initially injured his ankle on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies and sat out on Sunday in the series finale before aggravating it in the series opener against Colorado on Monday. Marte didn't play on Tuesday and will probably be held out again on Wednesday. With an off day coming on Thursday, fantasy managers will be hoping he can return for the weekend series in Tampa against the Rays, which begins on Friday. The Dominican infielder has been a must-start in all fantasy leagues with 30 homers, 81 RBI, six steals and 81 runs scored in 433 at-bats in 2024.
