WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Second baseman Ketel Marte is out of the Arizona Diamondbacks lineup but is available off the bench, manager Torey Lovullo said on Aug. 3.

Ketel Marte went deep for the Arizona lead with two outs in the ninth inning again against the Rangers. The big swing this time came from the other side of the plate.

Diamondbacks All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte has recently caused teammates and others in the organization to quietly grumble over his propensity to miss games, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reported on Friday.
