6 years agoArizona Diamondbacks outfielder/second baseman Ketel Marte is resting in Saturday's matchup versus Tyler Beede and the San Francisco Giants. Marte was pulled in Friday's contest after experiencing a groin cramp, but the team stated it was a precautionary move and are likely playing it safe with his absence Saturday. The 25-year-old is having a breakout campaign slashing .309/.359/.586 with 20 homers, 51 runs, 51 RBI, and four thefts continuing to bat atop the potent D'backs lineup. Expect Marte to return in the series finale Sunday or when the Dodgers come to town in a series starting on Monday.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
