Ketel Marte Leaves Game with Hamstring Strain

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte left Friday's game against the Washington Nationals in the first inning after suffering a left hamstring strain while running the bases. Marte, who recently signed a six-year, $116.5 million contract extension, was seen limping off the field after hitting a double. He is currently batting .346 this season, having reached base in all eight games played. There is no confirmed timeline for his return, and he may be at risk of spending time on the injured list, with Garrett Hampson likely to take his place if that occurs. Marte had a standout season in 2024, finishing third in NL MVP voting with career highs in home runs and RBIs. The injury raises concerns for both the Diamondbacks and fantasy baseball managers alike.
