## Ketel Marte Lands on Injured List, Dealing Blow to Arizona Diamondbacks Ketel Marte, the Arizona Diamondbacks' star infielder, has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain, dealing a significant blow to the team's playoff hopes. Marte suffered the injury during Monday's game against the Houston Astros while attempting to beat out an infield single. The Diamondbacks, who currently hold the third Wild Card spot in the National League, will now have to navigate the remaining regular season without one of their most productive players. Marte has been a key contributor for the Diamondbacks this season, batting .311 with 12 home runs, 54 RBI, and 26 stolen bases. His absence will leave a significant void in the team's lineup and will put added pressure on the rest of the team to step up in his absence. The Diamondbacks have not yet announced a timetable for Marte's return, but hamstring injuries can often take several weeks to heal. The team will be hoping that Marte can return before the end of the regular season and help them secure a playoff berth. In the meantime, the Diamondbacks will likely turn to Josh Rojas or Sergio Alcantara to fill Marte's spot at second base. Rojas has been playing well lately and could be a solid option to fill Marte's void, while Alcantara has the potential to be a long-term solution at the position. The Diamondbacks will open a four-game series against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night at Chase Field. They will then travel to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers for three games before returning home to host the Milwaukee Brewers for three more games. The Diamondbacks will need to play well in these games to maintain their hold on the Wild Card spot and to keep their playoff hopes alive.
