Diamondbacks put second baseman Ketel Marte on restricted list after missing game

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte was placed on the restricted list less than 15 minutes before the start of the team's game at Fenway Park on Monday, Aug. 17. Marte, who had traveled with the club to Boston the previous day, did not arrive for the contest, which the Diamondbacks lost 11-1 to the Boston Red Sox. > "Players can be placed on the restricted list for personal, legal or non-baseball reasons," MLB.com notes. The team has not confirmed whether Marte will be paid while on the list, as clubs may choose to withhold salary during such assignments. Third baseman Jose Fernandez, already in Boston as a contingency for a potential injury to Nolan Arenado, filled Marte's spot in the lineup. Marte previously spent time on the restricted list last season after a burglary at his Scottsdale home led him to miss two games while he was in the Dominican Republic. This update adds the latest information on his status.
