D-backs Reinstate All-Star Marte from IL

Marte Set to Return to D-backs' Lineup After 10 Game Absence

Marte Will Return Against the San Diego Padres on Friday

The Arizona Diamondbacks have reinstated All-Star outfielder Ketel Marte from the 10-day injured list. Marte has been sidelined since July 20 with a left hamstring strain.

The 28-year-old Marte is batting .286 with 11 home runs and 47 RBIs in 84 games this season. He was named to his second All-Star team earlier this month but was unable to play due to his injury.

Marte is expected to return to the D-backs' lineup on Friday against the San Diego Padres. He will likely bat leadoff and play center field.

The D-backs are currently 48-49 and in third place in the NL West. They are hoping that Marte's return will help them make a push for a playoff spot.
