Ketel Marte Fantasy Stats

MLB Network's Jon Morosi reports that the Arizona Diamondbacks are "actively listening" to trade offers for All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte this offseason. Morosi adds that he thinks there is at least a "50-50 chance" that Marte gets dealt to a new team for the 2026 season and beyond. No trade is imminent, but "multiple teams have checked in." Among the teams that have checked on Marte's availability are the Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays. Marte has a limited no-trade clause, but neither the Phillies nor the Blue Jays are on his list. Toronto could decide to pursue Marte if they are prepared to let star shortstop Bo Bichette walk in free agency. If they were to acquire Marte from Arizona, he would play second base, and Andres Gimenez would slide over to the 6. The Phillies currently have Bryson Stott as their starting second baseman, but Marte would be a clear upgrade.

Arizona Diamondbacks executive vice president and general manager Mike Hazen said on Tuesday in Las Vegas at the GM meetings that "it's mostly unlikely" that the team will trade All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte this offseason, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi. USA Today Sports' Bob Nightengale reported on Monday that the D-backs are motivated to trade Marte this offseason, but Hazen at least did a good job of deflecting that rumor a day later. The 32-year-old Marte will have 10-and-5 rights and a full no-trade provision by mid-April, so if a trade does occur, it will no doubt come before then. Marte has $71 million remaining on his contract through 2030, so the Snakes will surely have an extremely high asking price for any teams that come calling. He has become one of the best second basemen in baseball since the start of the 2023 season and has totaled 89 homers and 249 RBI in that span.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are "definitely motivated in moving" All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte with $71 million remaining on his contract through 2030, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. The Diamondbacks will obviously be asking for a lot in return. If Arizona doesn't trade Marte by the middle of April in 2026, he will have 10-and-5 rights and a full no-trade provision. Plenty of MLB teams should be interested in the 32-year-old switch-hitting Dominican infielder, but it remains to be seen if anyone will meet the D-backs' lofty asking price. Marte has been an All-Star each of the last two seasons and has been one of, if not the best, all-around second baseman in the game. Since the start of the 2023 campaign, Marte has a combined .283/.368/.519 slash line, .887 OPS, 89 home runs, 249 RBI, 274 runs scored, and 19 stolen bases in 412 regular-season games. If Marte is going to be traded, it will most likely come this offseason.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is out of the lineup on Saturday against the San Diego Padres. It'll be the first day off since Sept. 12 for Marte, who has gone 12-for-30 with two homers, five RBI, and seven runs scored during a seven-game hitting streak. The three-time All-Star has slashed .283/.376/.512 with 27 HRs, 71 RBI, 86 runs, and four stolen bases in 125 games and 553 plate appearances this year. With Marte on the bench on Saturday, Connor Kaiser will play second and hit ninth against right-hander Michael King.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (foot) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Minnesota Twins. Ildemaro Vargas is now starting at the keystone and will hit second against Twins right-hander Pablo Lopez at Target Field. Marte was expected to return to action on Friday after he left Wednesday's game with a foot injury, but he apparently wasn't feeling quite 100 percent after pre-game workouts. Fantasy managers will need to remove him from their lineups and check back on Friday to see if he's able to return. Marte is a must-start second baseman in fantasy when he's active and in the lineup. Vargas, 34, is in a nice spot at the top of the order, but he'll still be a low-upside DFS streamer in Minnesota. He has gone 19-for-73 (.260) in limited action in 2025 with only three homers and 15 RBI.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (foot) is scheduled to be in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Minnesota Twins, according to John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports. The Diamondbacks will see how Marte is feeling when he comes in before the game. Marte is hitting .171 (6-for-35) in a small sample size so far in September and left Wednesday's game early against the San Francisco Giants with a right-foot bruise. Thankfully, X-rays were negative, and the 31-year-old All-Star should be back in there on Friday. Fantasy managers will want to make sure Marte isn't scratched just before first pitch, and they'll also be hoping he can turn it around at the plate against Twins right-hander Pablo Lopez on Friday. He's gone 1-for-3 with an RBI in his career against Lopez.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (foot) exited their 5-3 win over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday with a right-foot contusion, but it's not a serious injury. X-rays came back negative after the game, and manager Torey Lovullo said he expects Marte to return to the lineup on Friday against the Minnesota Twins, according to Michael Wagaman of MLB.com. With the Diamondbacks off on Thursday, it doesn't appear that Marte will miss any time after fouling a ball off his foot in the top of the first inning on Wednesday. He stayed in until the team replaced him with Ildemaro Vargas in the bottom of the seventh. After going 0-for-3 and picking up his 65th RBI, Marte is slashing .281/.381/.511 with 25 homers, 79 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 496 plate appearances.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (lower body) was forced to make an early exit from Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Marte was visited by the trainers and exited the game in the seventh inning due to a lower body injury. Before exiting, Marte went 0-for-3 at the plate with an RBI. The assumption is that Marte will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday for another update on his status. Ildemaro Vargas took over at second base and figures to see increased time there if Marte misses time.

The Arizona Diamondbacks could look for a trade partner for second baseman Ketel Marte in the offseason. According to Mike Rodriguez, teammates of Marte have expressed "dissatisfaction regarding his behavior and attendance." Bob Nightengale of USA Today noted that the team is considering accepting trade offers for him during the offseason. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status. Before the trade deadline, the Diamondbacks opted to trade Eugenio Suarez and Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners in hopes of rebuilding their prospect system. Despite the Diamondbacks falling short of expectations this season, Marte has remained an elite producer, posting a .297/.397/.55 line with 23 home runs. Even if he were to find a new club in 2026, Marte would likely be viewed as the consensus No. 1 2B in all leagues next season.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This appears to be a routine rest day for Marte after he started in each of the last 12 games. Marte is in the middle of a hot stretch at the plate. Over the last seven games, Marte is hitting .414 with two home runs and 11 RBI. Fantasy managers should expect Marte back in the lineup ahead of Monday's contest. Connor Kaiser will take over at second base and bat ninth against right-hander Antonio Senzatela on Sunday.
