Ketel Marte Begins Baseball Activities
31 seconds agoAlthough Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (hamstring) isn't expected to return from a left-hamstring strain for another few weeks, he has started doing baseball activities, according to Arizona Sports' Alex Weiner. Marte has started to take ground balls and is taking swings in the batting cage. Barring setbacks, the D-backs hope Marte can return in late April or early May, according to manager Torey Lovullo. The 2024 MVP finalist started this season hitting a robust .346 with three doubles and six runs scored in eight games prior to injuring his hamstring running out a double on April 4 against the Washington Nationals. Hamstring injuries have been a problem for the 31-year-old All-Star, as he was on the injured list twice with hammy issues in both of his legs in 2021. So far with Marte out, rookie Tim Tawa and Garrett Hampson have split time at the keystone in Arizona.
