Ketel Marte Pulled Early With Leg Injury On Friday
21 seconds agoArizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (leg) pulled up lame at second base in the first inning on Friday against the Washington Nationals after what would have been an easy triple against right-hander Jake Irvin. Marte walked off the field and exited the game with a limp due to an undisclosed leg injury. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on this one, as the 31-year-old All-Star is one of the best overall second baseman in the game. The injury comes after he just signed a six-year, $116 million contract extension this week. Marte was clearly in pain and could be headed for the injured list, but we'll have to wait for more word on the specific nature of his injury. Garrett Hampson replaced Marte at the keystone and would be in line for regular work at second base if Marte requires an extended absence.
