Ketel Marte will be shifted to the 10-day injured list today, Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen said. After meeting with Marte today, Hazen said he expects Marte will rejoin the team once healthy. Story to come soon @azcentral.

The Diamondbacks' trip home has not gone according to plan. https://t.co/GZsrPSGxwy

Ketel Marte is returning to Arizona to undergo an MRI on his knee, according to a source.

[Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro]

To be clear: I’m told Ketel Marte is doing OK physically, he just didn’t show up to the ballpark tonight.

[Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro]

Marte arrived here in Boston with the team. The club had hoped until shortly before game time that he was going to show up to the park. He had been expected to serve as the designated hitter for tonight's game.

[Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro]

Ketel Marte did not show up to Fenway Park tonight.

[Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro]

The Diamondbacks have finally posted their lineup -- the latest I can remember a lineup being posted in my years covering the team. Their game against the Red Sox is starting in eight minutes.

[Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro]

Ketel Marte has been placed on the restricted list. Jose Fernandez has been recalled.

@Jesus_Cano88 @SteveGilbertMLB just waiting for those bangers to upload

[Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro]

Torey Lovullo did not sound overly concerned about Perdomo’s knee. Said if it were a close game he might have left him in. Could still get a day off in the coming days.

[Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro]

Geraldo Perdomo came out of tonight's game due to left knee soreness. He was removed after the fourth inning.

The Diamondbacks have agreed to sign veteran right-hander Zack Littell, a source said, in a move that gives them additional rotation depth less than a week after they were unable to land another starting pitcher ahead of the trade deadline. https://t.co/T6YdK6vft4

[Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro]

Merrill Kelly exited the game with a right leg cramp, the team says. That's at least the eighth time in his career he was forced from a game due to a cramp but the first since May 2025.

[Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro]

A.J. Puk has been shut down for the year, manager Torey Lovullo said.

[Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro]

Gabriel Moreno is back at Chase Field. Adrian Del Castillo appears to have been optioned; he no longer has a locker here.

[Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro]

Lefty Brandyn Garcia has been given the ninth inning three times now in save situations/close games, but Torey Lovullo said he's still going to stick with a matchup-based approach, in part to make sure he keeps everyone rested heading down the stretch.

[Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro]

Torey Lovullo says his “gut feel” is that Michael Soroka will need only one minor league rehab start before returning. He pitches tonight in Reno.

[azcentral sports @azcsports]

The Diamondbacks were so close to completing a trade for a New York Mets starting pitcher. https://t.co/Feh8lWWqzV

[Jorge Castillo @jorgecastillo]

The Diamondbacks are acquiring Lars Nootbaar from the Cardinals, sources tell me and @Alden_Gonzalez.
