Ketel Marte Resting On Monday
2 years agoArizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday against right-hander Karl Kauffmann and the Colorado Rockies. Marte has had at least one hit in eight of his last nine starts, but he'll get a breather to begin the week on Memorial Day. He's been very strong at the plate this month, going 30-for-96 (.313) with a double, two triples, four home runs, 13 RBI, four stolen bases and 13 runs scored in 24 games played. In doing so, he's managed to raise his season slash line to .282/.341/.472 with an .813 OPS, eight doubles, a league-leading four triples, seven homers, 21 RBI and five stolen bases in 217 trips to the plate over 50 games. Josh Rojas is starting at the keystone and hitting sixth on Monday, while Emmanuel Rivera is at the hot corner and batting fifth against Kauffmann.
