GM Hazen: D-Backs will be looking for more from Ketel Marte in 2023
MILWAUKEE — Second baseman Ketel Marte’s season ended much like the rest of his year played out: more quietly than the Diamondbacks would have liked.
General Manager Mike Hazen said he appreciated the fact that Marte “grinded” to stay in the lineup despite injuries, including a pair of stretches in which he served as the designated hitter while a tender hamstring recovered. “We’re talking about not having the shift next year and what’s that going to mean at second base,” Hazen said. “That’s going to put more pressure on our middle infielders for sure. That’s going to be the focus going into the offseason. He’s always worked. He’s committed to doing all these things. I’m confident he’s going to.
Lovullo said X-rays came back negative. He was out of the lineup for four games, then went 1 for 3 on Friday in San Francisco.Rivera, whom the Diamondbacks acquired on Aug. 1 from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for right-hander Luke Weaver, hit .227/.304/.424 with six home runs for the Diamondbacks while playing solid defense at third base.
