Arizona Diamondbacks' second baseman Ketel Marte faces a significant absence due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain sustained while rounding the bases against Washington. No specific timeline for his recovery has been provided, as the team focuses on ensuring complete healing before initiating baseball activities. Marte recently signed a six-year contract worth $116.5 million, which is a testament to his value, having finished third in NL MVP voting last season.

He's currently batting .346 after just eight games, with an impressive on-base streak. Marte's absence will likely have a ripple effect on the Diamondbacks' lineup, impacting their offensive strategies and overall performance as they navigate the early season.
