    • Swipes bag in return
      Marte went 1-for-4 with a walk, a steal and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Padres.

      Advice: Marte was back in Sunday's lineup after being scratched Saturday due to back soreness. His back didn't appear to hinder him, as he picked up just his second steal of the season after walking to leadoff the fourth. Marte has been scorching hot at the plate in June, slashing .462/.548/.846 with three homers, six RBI, six runs and a 4:5 BB:K over his last seven games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:34 am
       
    • Returning to action Sunday
      Marte (back) is starting at second base and batting second Sunday against the Padres.

      Advice: The 30-year-old was scratched from Saturday's starting nine due to lower-back soreness but will end up sitting just one game. Marte is 11-for-26 with three homers, six RBI and a 4:7 BB:K through seven games in June, which has boosted his OPS for the season to .848. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:02 am
       
    • Marte, Moreno back in lineup for Diamondbacks
      Ketel Marte (back) is hitting second and playing second base Sunday against the Padres.

      Advice: Marte and Gabriel Moreno (illness) are both back in the lineup for the D-Backs for their series finale against the Padres. Marte will handle the keystone with Moreno starting behind the plate and hitting eighth against Adam Mazur and the San Diego pitching staff. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:56 am
       
    • Battling back soreness
      Marte was scratched from Arizona's lineup Saturday due to lower-back soreness, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

      Advice: Marte appeared to tweak something in his back during Friday's contest, and he'll sit down Saturday as a precaution. He is available off the bench, however, so his injury likely isn't a major issue. Blaze Alexander will start at second base and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:43 pm
       
    • Scratched from lineup
      Marte (undisclosed) was scratched from Arizona's lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Padres.

      Advice: The Diamondbacks have not yet provided a reason for Marte's removal from the lineup, but they should offer some clarity relatively soon. Blaze Alexander will enter as the replacement second baseman while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 1:27 pm
       
    • Ketel Marte (back) scratched from D’Backs’ lineup
      Ketel Marte (back) was scratched from the Diamondbacks’ starting lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Padres.

      Advice: Marte appeared to tweak his back during his final at-bat on Friday night and that seems to be the reason that he was scratched from Saturday’s lineup. The fact that he was in the initial lineup is at least encouraging though, so he should be considered day-to-day until we hear otherwise. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:27 pm
       
    • Sitting Saturday
      Caballero is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Caballero will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a double in the series opener Friday. Taylor Walls will start at shortstop Saturday and bat seventh against Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:04 am

    • Ketel Marte crushes 13th homer in blowout loss
      Ketel Marte walloped a two-run homer on Friday in the Diamondbacks’ one-sided loss at the hands of the Padres.

      Advice: Marte broke up a potential shutout with a seventh-inning blast off Padres reliever Wandy Peralta for his 13th big fly of the season. The 30-year-old second baseman has been a model of consistency in an otherwise turbulent campaign for the defending National League champions this season, batting .282 with 41 runs scored, 13 homers, 35 RBI and one steal through 63 games. Unfortunately, the stolen bases probably aren’t ever coming back to his early-career level, but he remains a reliable four-category fantasy contributor at the keystone in the prime of his career.

    • Crushes homer in loss
      Marte went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Padres.

      Advice: The second baseman is on a roll to begin June, going 11-for-26 (.423) with three homers and six RBI over his first seven games this month. Marte is up to 13 long balls, 35 RBI, 41 runs scored, one stolen base and a .282/.340/.508 slash line over 63 contests this season. He's topped the 20-homer mark just twice in his first nine major-league seasons, but he's on pace to do it for the second year in a row. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:50 pm
