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.

Prior to being put on the restricted list, Marte posted an Instagram story.
The post showed support for his teammate.
Carroll was named the National League player of the week for the week of August 10th to 16th. The 25-year-old outfielder has recorded 113 hits, 18 home runs, 15 triples, and a .247 batting average in 122 games.

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.
“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.”
