D-Backs' Ketel Marte Lands on 10-Day IL Due to Hamstring Injury

The Arizona Diamondbacks have placed All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte on the 10-day injured list due to a strained left hamstring, which he sustained while running out a double in the first inning of a game against the Washington Nationals. This injury comes just two days after Marte signed a six-year, $116.5 million contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2031 season. Marte had a strong start to the 2025 season, hitting .346 with three doubles in eight games, and is coming off an impressive 2024 season where he finished third in the NL MVP voting. In his absence, the Diamondbacks have recalled infielder Tim Tawa from Triple-A Reno, who is set to make his MLB debut. Marte's injury is a significant loss for the D-backs, who have been one of the highest-scoring teams in baseball. Manager Torey Lovullo has indicated that the severity of the injury will be assessed in the coming days.
