Diamondbacks Transfer Ketel Marte to Injured List
PUBLISHED Aug 21, 2026, 12:32 AM ET
The Arizona Diamondbacks have transferred star second baseman Ketel Marte to the 10-day injured list due to inflammation in his upper hamstring and medial joint of his left knee. The transaction follows a brief absence where Marte returned to Phoenix for medical evaluations after missing a series opener against the Boston Red Sox. Team officials, including General Manager Mike Hazen and Manager Torey Lovullo, met with Marte to address the situation and stabilize his recovery plan. Marte is batting .249 with 21 home runs and 67 RBIs across 118 games this season. The team expects him to resume playing once he completes his rehabilitation window, with an earliest possible return date set for August 31 against the Philadelphia Phillies. Arizona is currently locked in a competitive National League wild-card race, trailing the final playoff spot by one game and needing active roster adjustments to offset his absence.
