The Arizona Diamondbacks face a difficult situation. Their series against the Boston Red Sox just started, and nobody knows where Ketel Marte is.
However, before being placed on the restricted list and before Torey Lovullo’s heartfelt message, Marte sent a message of support to his teammate, Corbin Carroll.
Additionally, there is a new update on Marte’s situation.

Prior to being put on the restricted list, Marte posted an Instagram story.
The post showed support for his teammate.

The Latest on Ketel Marte
Marte did not show up to Fenway Park for Monday’s game. The Diamondbacks ended up losing to the Red Sox by an 11-1 final score.
The latest update is from Enrique Rojas of ESPN.
“Source: Ketel Marte remains in Boston, dealing with a personal situation. He and his family are fine. Marte has been in communication with the Diamondbacks through the appropriate channels and hopes to resolve his matter as soon as possible to return to playing baseball,” Rojas reported on Tuesday.
Prior to this update, John Gambadoro reported on Marte’s last known sighting.
“From what I can gather Ketel Marte was seen at the team hotel bar with a group of people around 11 pm last night,” John Gambadoro reported. “So definitely was seen at the hotel late last night. I have covered sports in this market for 30 years- not sure I have seen anything quite as bizarre as this.”
“Even more bizarre than James Jones having to hand out free beer because Josh Jackson failed to show up at an autograph signing.”
Additionally, Lovullo said that he personally reached out to Marte to no response.
It’s a positive sign that Marte is safe, regardless of what exactly is going on with him right now.
