Ketel Marte did all he could for his team on Friday, going 2-for-3 with two homers and two walks in a 14-11 loss to the New York Yankees. Marte cracked a pair of solo homers and also scored on
Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s grand slam. The 31-year-old has put together strong numbers in an injury-shortened start to his season, hitting .292 with 11 runs, three homers, and four RBI in 48 at-bats. When healthy, Marte is one of the best-hitting second basemen in the game. He should remain a fantasy standout throughout the season.

Ketel Marte is getting the day off in Wednesday's series finale against the visiting New York Mets. Rookie
Tim Tawa will make the start at second base and bat eighth against Mets right-hander
Kodai Senga. Marte has struggled since returning from a left-hamstring strain that kept him out for almost a full month, as he's gone just 2-for-15 with a run scored in six games since being activated from the injured list. The recent cold stretch has brought the 31-year-old Dominican's slash line down to .268/.388/.341 on the year. Marte has yet to go deep after clubbing a career-high 36 long balls a season ago. Tawa hasn't been great in his first 21 big-league games, hitting 190 (12-for-63), but he's displayed some pop with five home runs and 11 RBI in 75 plate appearances. He is hitless in just one career at-bat against Senga.

Ketel Marte (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Friday, and outfielder
Jorge Barrosa was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Thursday in a corresponding move. Arizona's starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the hosting Philadelphia Phillies isn't out yet, but fantasy managers should expect Marte to be back in there against left-hander
Jesus Luzardo. The 31-year-old All-Star is finally back with the Snakes since landing on the IL on April 15 with a left-hamstring strain. Although the matchup isn't a great one against Luzardo, fantasy managers will want to get Marte back in their lineups in all redraft leagues. Before landing on the shelf, the Dominican switch-hitter had yet to homer in 26 at-bats, but he was hitting .346 with a .469 on-base percentage and .930 OPS.

Ketel Marte (hamstring) took five at-bats and played four innings in the field at second base on Monday, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Marte took the day off on Tuesday and is scheduled to build up to six or seven innings defensively on Wednesday, and he's still likely to come off the injured list this weekend. The 31-year-old All-Star has been on the injured list with a strained left hamstring since April 5 but figures to return to the team's starting lineup this weekend on the road for a series against the Philadelphia Phillies. When he returns, fantasy managers will be stoked to get him right back in their starting lineups. Before his hamstring injury, Marte had picked right up where he left off a year ago, slashing .346/.469/.462 in 26 at-bats, although he's still searching for his first home run of 2025.
