Ketel Marte misses game, raises concerns for Diamondbacks fans

Arizona Diamondbacks' second baseman Ketel Marte was a late scratch for the game against the Boston Red Sox on August 17. Manager Torey Lovullo cited a personal issue, stating that Marte is on the restricted list but physically fine. Marte has since returned to Phoenix for an MRI on his left knee, which he injured on August 14. Confusion about his absence has led to frustrations among fans and media, leading to questions about his relationship with the team. During this time, Marte was reportedly seen socializing at a team hotel bar, adding to the concerns about his availability and commitment.
