The Arizona Diamondbacks place infielder Ketel Marte on the restricted list after he does not show up for their game against the Boston Red Sox. Multiple outlets report the team made the move shortly before first pitch in Boston and that Marte traveled with the club but was not at Fenway Park for the start of the game.
Outlets also describe confusion among fans and note that the Diamondbacks do not publicly state a specific reason for the decision. Some reporting says the placement follows Marte missing or not attending required team activity, such as batting practice, while other accounts focus on the missed arrival for the game itself. The Athletic and others frame the move within Arizona’s ongoing push for postseason positioning.
To replace him on the roster, the Diamondbacks recall infielder Jose Fernandez. Coverage varies mainly in emphasis—whether on the timing of the restricted-list designation, the lead-up activities Marte may have missed, or the context of the Diamondbacks’ season—but they agree on the central facts: a no-show in Boston and a restricted-list placement by Arizona.
