Ketel Marte Could Return For Upcoming Road Trip
3 months agoArizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said on Monday that the team's upcoming road trip that starts on Tuesday in San Francisco against the division-rival Giants and runs through Sunday, Sept. 8, against the Houston Astros is in play for second baseman Ketel Marte (ankle) to return from the 10-day injured list. An ankle sprain has kept the 30-year-old All-Star out of action since he landed on the IL on Aug. 19, but it appears he's making great progress and has a shot at returning this week. Marte could be eased back in, but when healthy, he's a must-start in all fantasy lineups as Arizona's starting second baseman. Marte will be returning to a .298/.370/.560 slash line with a .930 OPS, 30 home runs, 81 RBI and six steals in his 116 games. He needs just three more home runs the rest of the way to set a new career-high in that category.
