Arizona Diamondbacks skipper Torey Lovullo voiced his frustration and feeling of betrayal regarding Ketel Marte’s unexpected absence from the team’s series opener against the Boston Red Sox. Marte had recently returned to the lineup after a brief injury spell, making his absence even more perplexing to Lovullo.
The incident occurred during the series against the Atlanta Braves. Marte initially sustained a left knee injury in the first game of that series. He then sat out the second game but returned to play in the third game against the Braves. However, despite playing in the final game against Atlanta, Marte was unavailable for the series opener at Fenway Park against the Red Sox on Monday.
Lovullo stated, “I felt betrayed” when discussing Marte’s absence. He further elaborated on the “pain” and “frustration” he experienced, indicating a lack of clarity or communication regarding Marte’s availability. The manager did not specify the nature of the communication breakdown, but emphasized his disappointment with the situation. The reason for Marte’s absence was due to the initial left knee injury sustained against the Braves.
