The Arizona Diamondbacks placed Ketel Marte on the restricted list after he did not show up at Fenway Park for a game against the Red Sox, per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com.

The move removes Marte from the active roster. The club has not publicly detailed the circumstances behind his absence, and no timetable for his return has been reported.

What remains unconfirmed

The nature of the situation has not been characterized beyond the no-show itself. Whether this is connected to a personal matter or something else has not been established in the available material.

The roster picture in Arizona

The D-backs have been active on the roster front in recent days. Justin Martínez was activated following his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and Jordan Lawlar returned to the clubhouse signaling his own potential availability. A separate roster move cleared a 40-man spot for Martínez's reinstatement.

Marte's absence adds a notable gap to a lineup already navigating multiple moving parts. What comes next depends on details that, for now, the club has not made public.
