Diamondbacks Expect Ketel Marte to Return on Wednesday
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that he has second baseman Ketel Marte (back) in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles as of now, according to Diamondbacks reporter Jody Jackson. The Snakes scratched Marte from Tuesday's starting lineup in Baltimore as a precaution due to lower-back tightness, but apparently, he's already feeling much better. Fantasy managers have to be pretty stoked that Marte will end up missing just one game. The three-time All-Star is a must-start anytime he's in Arizona's lineup. Marte is off to a .212 (14-for-66) start to the 2026 season, his 12th in the league, but he's been heating up of late and has four homers and nine total RBI in 72 plate appearances. If he indeed returns on Wednesday in the series finale at Camden Yards, Marte will be facing right-hander Kyle Bradish. He's only faced Bradish twice in his career and has two hits and an RBI.
