Ketel Marte Returning to Phoenix for MRI on Knee After Restricted List Placement
Marte is heading back to Phoenix for an MRI on his knee after the D-backs placed him on the restricted list; availability remains unconfirmed.
Ketel Marte is returning to Phoenix for an MRI on his knee, per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, after the Arizona Diamondbacks placed him on the restricted list. The club's focus, per the report, remains on the ongoing series in Boston.
The restricted list placement came after Marte failed to appear at Fenway Park for the D-backs' game against the Red Sox. The knee evaluation adds a medical dimension to what had initially surfaced as a personal matter — though the relationship between the two remains unconfirmed.
What we don't know yet
The MRI results have not been reported, no diagnosis has been disclosed, and no timetable for Marte's return has been established. Whether the knee issue is connected to his absence in Boston is not stated in the material.
What to watch
The D-backs are navigating a roster that has seen notable movement in recent days, with Jordan Lawlar returning to the clubhouse and Justin Martínez reinstated from the 60-day IL. Marte's status will be the thread worth tracking as MRI results become available.
