The Arizona Diamondbacks placed second baseman Ketel Marte on the restricted list after he did not show up at Fenway Park for Monday’s series opener against the Boston Red Sox. Marte had traveled to Boston with the team and was initially included in the lineup as the designated hitter, with Arizona holding its card until roughly 20 minutes before first pitch hoping he would arrive. Manager Torey Lovullo said Marte is dealing with a personal issue. On Tuesday, Marte returned to Arizona to undergo an MRI on his knee, and it is not yet clear whether the knee is connected to Monday’s absence. It is the second straight season Marte has landed on the restricted list. (source: MLB.com, Yahoo Sports, Boston Globe, MLB Trade Rumors)
