Ketel Marte Spotted at Casino During Diamondbacks Game Amid No-Show, IL Update
Arizona Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte, who was scratched from Monday's game and later placed on the injured list with left knee inflammation after a team meeting, was seen gambling at a Talking Stick casino during Friday's 9-0 win over the Reds at Chase Field. Manager Torey Lovullo said Marte is free to do as he wishes as long as he shows up, posts, and does his work; the public reason for his absence remains unclear. Marte is a core player this season, hitting .249 with 21 homers and 67 RBIs in 118 games, and Arizona remains one game back in the National League Wild Card race.
