Ketel Marte Isn't In Saturday's Lineup
3 years agoArizona Diamondbacks center fielder Ketel Marte isn't in the team's lineup on Saturday. The Diamondbacks will match up with right-hander Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres but will do so without arguably their best hitter. In 171 plate appearances, Marte is hitting .359 with a .409 on-base percentage, four home runs, and a stolen base. Pavin Smith is moving over to center field to start in Marte's place and is batting second. The 25-year-old could be worth a look as a streaming option in deeper leagues. In 388 plate appearances, this season Smith is hitting .273 with a .332 on-base percentage, nine home runs, and a stolen base.
