Arizona Diamondbacks skipper Torey Lovullo said he felt "betrayed" by Ketel Marte's absence for the series opener against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Monday.
Marte had sustained a left knee injury in the first game of the series against the Atlanta Braves, sat out the second game and returned for the third game. Despite traveling to Boston, he didn't appear for the series opener against the Red Sox.
Lovullo addressed the media at Chase Field ahead of the series opener against the Reds on Friday and said he felt frustrated not knowing the reason Marte failed to show up for the game on Monday.
"I was clearly hurting. And once I saw what was unfolding, I became extremely frustrated, and I felt betrayed. And that's a whole different type of pain and frustration. But I'm through that. I'm through that. There are human emotions tied into these athletes all over the world. All over the world. And it's not easy," Lovullo said.
Lovullo also addressed Marte's decision to scrub his Instagram account of Diamondbacks-related content in July.
