DENVER -- Second baseman Ketel Marte had a big game in the D-backs' 6-3 win over the Rockies on Tuesday night, driving in four runs.
On Wednesday, Marte was back on the bench as manager Torey Lovullo wants to stick with his plan to give veteran infielder Daniel Descalso more playing time at second against right-handed pitchers.
The D-backs are set to face left-handed pitchers in the final game of the Rockies series on Thursday and in the opener of the Astros series on Friday, so the switch-hitting Marte should be back in the lineup for those games.
