Ketel Marte’s future with the Diamondbacks hangs in the balance as he sits on the restricted list amid a personal crisis — and the team’s own confusion adds to the mystery. Manager Torey Lovullo admits he’s been told Marte is getting an MRI on his sore left knee, but even he’s unsure if that’s the real reason for Marte’s absence from Monday’s game. Despite playing the day after feeling discomfort and traveling with the team to Boston, Marte hasn’t reached out — something that surprises Lovullo, given their close bond. The manager remains open to talking whenever Marte is ready, hinting at the depth of what’s going on. Still, Lovullo insists Marte is one of the best players in the NL and hopes to see him back this season — especially since he’s already been a vital offensive force and a three-time All-Star. This isn’t Marte’s first rodeo on the restricted list; he was placed there last year after heading back to the Dominican Republic for games. For now, everyone’s in the dark — including the team — about exactly what’s happening behind the scenes.
