- On Monday, Aug. 18, the Arizona Diamondbacks entered damage control as Ketel Marte apologized through an interpreter for missing three games after the All-Star break.
- He had told officials he’d return on Thursday to practice, but he did not fly back with his All-Star teammates, opting for a mini-vacation in the Dominican Republic.
- The Diamondbacks swept the three games Marte missed but then lost nine of 10 after he returned, leaving their record at 60-65 after deadline trades.
- The Diamondbacks placed him on the restricted list without pay for the two games he missed, though Marte insisted he still has all teammate backing.
