Ketel Marte, the second baseman for the Arizona Diamondbacks, will miss at least 10 days after being placed on the injured list due to inflammation in his left knee. The move comes after a tumultuous week for the player, which included him not reporting to Fenway Park for Monday night's game against the Boston Red Sox.

I'm not going to get into details. I feel like the conversation and the meeting were productive. We talked about last week. Obviously, I'm not going to talk about that. He will talk to his teammates at some point and we'll go from there.

— Mike HazenArizona Diamondbacks General Manager, on the meeting with Ketel Marte.

Marte's absence from Monday's game led to his placement on the restricted list. Manager Torey Lovullo described the situation as "a crazy day," stating that Marte was dealing with a personal issue and that the team was trying to understand it. Lovullo mentioned limited communication from Marte during this period.

Following an MRI that revealed inflammation in his left knee, Marte met with General Manager Mike Hazen and Lovullo. Hazen confirmed that Marte received an injection to alleviate the inflammation and expressed optimism that this would allow him to return to play soon after his injured list stint concludes. The team is hopeful the treatment will enable a swift comeback.

It has been a crazy day. All I know is that he is going through a personal issue. We are trying to understand it. He did not show up today and we put him on the restricted list. That's all I know for now. I did my best to contact him, but there was very little response.
