Ketel Marte, who underwent an MRI exam on Wednesday on his lower back, seemed to suggest his breakout season for the Diamondbacks might have come to an end.
“The decision isn’t really up to me, but the objective isn’t to make things worse,” Marte said, speaking through interpreter Martin Bater. “There’s only nine games left in the year. Of course, the confidence is there to be able to come back, but the main objective is to be careful and not re-aggravate it.”
Marte said the MRI showed inflammation in his lower back/hip area.
