3 days agoArizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that All-Star second baseman
Ketel Marte (hamstring) is likely headed to the injured list after straining his left hamstring while rounding the bases in Friday's 6-4 win over the Washington Nationals. The 31-year-old strained his hamstring in the first inning after hitting what would have been an easy triple off right-hander
Jake Irvin. Marte eventually limped off the field and probably will need to miss more than the next 10 days as he rehabs his injured hamstring.
Garrett Hampson replaced Marte as a pinch-runner and at second base and should see most of the playing time at the keystone moving forward with Marte on the shelf. It's a tough break for Arizona to lose one of their best all-around players after just signing him to a six-year, $116 million extension this week. Keep Marte stashed in all fantasy leagues.

3 days agoUpdating a previous report, the Arizona Diamondbacks announced that All-Star second baseman
Ketel Marte (hamstring) was removed from Friday's 6-4 win over the hosting Washington Nationals with a left-hamstring strain. Marte hit what should have been an easy triple in the first inning off right-hander
Jake Irvin but strained his hammy rounding the bases and settled for a double before limping off the field and being replaced by
Garrett Hampson. The 31-year-old, who just signed a six-year, $116 million deal with the D-backs the other day, looked to be in quite a bit of pain, so fantasy managers may want to prepare for a potential trip to the injured list. If that comes to fruition, Hampson would most likely be in line for most of the playing time at the keystone for the Snakes. Marte has been one of the most productive second baseman in recent seasons, so he should be stashed in all fantasy leagues if he goes on the IL.

3 days 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.

4 days agoArizona Diamondbacks second baseman
Ketel Marte is getting his first day off in the campaign on Thursday evening when the Diamondbacks continue a series against the New York Yankees. On Wednesday, Marte went 1-for-2 at the plate with two walks after signing a six-year $116.5 million extension. Through six games this season, Marte has posted a strong .292/.433/.375 slash line with two doubles with a 6:4 BB:K. Last season, the 31-year-old enjoyed one of the best seasons of his career as he posted a stellar .292/.372/.560 slash line with 23 doubles, 36 home runs, seven swiped bags. With Marte sitting out on Thursday, the Diamondbacks will give
Garrett Hampson the nod at the keystone. Hampson is worth a look as a low-risk value play in DFS facing New York right-hander
Carlos Carrasco.
