Diamondbacks News
Ketel Marte's no-show at Fenway Park overshadowed the Arizona Diamondbacks' struggles on the field, as they fell 3-5 to the Boston Red Sox, dropping their record to 66-60. Marte's unexpected absence has raised questions about personal issues, forcing the team into swift roster changes, including the designation of Andrew Hoffmann for assignment to make room for Justin Martínez's return. As if the turmoil wasn’t enough, Corbin Carroll continues to shine, recently earning Player of the Week honors, but the pressure is mounting with Marte's absence hitting hard in the lineup. The D-backs have a solid run differential of +15 over the past week, but they need to get back on track quickly, especially as they look to rebound against the Red Sox again.
