Ketel Marte Feeling Better, Returns Against White Sox

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (illness) is back at second base and is hitting second in the batting order on Tuesday against right-hander Jose Urena and the Chicago White Sox. Marte had missed the last two games due to a stomach bug, but he made a pinch-hitting appearance in Monday's loss to the New York Yankees and is now back in the starting nine for the Snakes in a very important game as they look to stay in one of the final two wild-card spots in the National League. The 29-year-old switch-hitter has been a versatile fantasy asset all year long, hitting .279/.361/.489 with an .850 OPS, 24 home runs, 80 RBI, seven stolen bases and 91 runs scored in 552 at-bats. Get him back into your lineups for the final week of the regular season.

Ketel Marte Walks In Pinch-Hitting Appearance

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (illness) didn't start Monday's 6-4 loss to the New York Yankees in the Bronx, but he entered the contest as a pinch-hitter and drew a walk. After pinch-hitting, Marte stayed in the game to play second base for the conclusion of the loss. The 29-year-old has missed the last two games due to a stomach bug, but his appearance as a pinch-hitter on Monday likely means he'll return to action on Tuesday for the start of a series against the Chicago White Sox. If Marte is in the starting lineup on Tuesday, fantasy managers still competing for a championship in the final week of the regular season will want to get him back into their lineups.

Overall in 552 at-bats this year, he's slashing .279/.360/.489 with 24 home runs, 80 RBI, seven stolen bases and 91 runs scored.

Ketel Marte Removed Early On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (knee) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The 29-year-old fouled a ball off his knee during the opening frame. He remained in the contest, but was ultimately lifted in the seventh inning due to an apparent knee issue.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (back) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. This marks the second game in a row that Marte has missed due to an ongoing back issue. It doesn't sound like a serious issue, so the team is just going to give him some extra days to rest. The All-Star break is right around the corner, so the D-Backs don't want to take any chances. Geraldo Perdomo will bat leadoff and cover second base versus right-hander Kodai Senga on Wednesday.
