The Arizona Diamondbacks dealt with a bizarre situation Monday night in Boston. All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte failed to show up to Fenway Park for Arizona's series opener against the Boston Red Sox, and as things stand now, we still don't know why. Arizona placed Marte on the restricted list following his no-show. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters Marte traveled with the team to Boston but is unsure if he's still in the city. With Marte out of the lineup, the Diamondbacks lost 11-1 and fell to 66-60 on the season, putting them one game behind the San Diego Padres for the third and final National League Wild Card spot. Let's get into what we know about this Marte situation. Has Marte gone AWOL before? Yes. Marte, 32, missed three games last season after his Scottsdale home was broken into during the All-Star break, as he flew to the Dominican Republic and returned later than the team anticipated. That was another restricted list appearance for the three-time All-Star. What is MLB's restricted list? The restricted list is for MLB players who are unable to play for personal or non-baseball reasons. Players are not paid and do not accrue service time while on the restricted list, and there's no limit for how long they spend there. Who replaced Marte vs. Red Sox? Infielder Jose Martinez started in place of Marte, going 1 for 3 with a strikeout. It's unclear if he'll be the everyday replacement for Marte until he gets back, but Martinez joined the club prior to the no-show because third baseman Nolan Arenado is dealing with a minor injury. How did Diamondbacks respond to Marte's no-show? Lovullo admitted to reporters it was a "crazy day," and he added Marte was dealing with a personal issue they're still trying to learn more about. As for Marte's future with the team, Lovullo wasn't ready for that conversation Monday night. "I haven't got that far," Lovullo said. "I need a good night's rest, a glass of wine and we'll think about that." We'll likely learn more about Marte's no-show over the next few hours and days.
