The Arizona Diamondbacks are 66-59, third place in the National League West and eight games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers. Usually a team where the offense does most of the work, it has been the pitching doing most of the lifting this season.
Arizona has been playing some good baseball lately, winning 17 of their last 28 games dating back to July 18. However, before the beginning of their three-game set at the Boston Red Sox, second baseman Ketel Marte was mysteriously put on the restricted list.
As of Monday night, no official explanation has been given by the Diamondbacks. The news was announced shortly before the team's game at 7:10 p.m. ET by Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic.
Piecoro made another post on X saying that Marte is doing fine physically, he simply did not go to Fenway Park for the game. The second baseman has played in 118 of the team's 125 games this year.
As a result of his absence, the Diamondbacks did not release a lineup until about 10 minutes before first pitch. It was Illdemaro Vargas getting the start at second base and batting leadoff instead of Marte.
