Gurriel Returns to Diamondbacks, Marte Still Out with Injury
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. returns to the Diamondbacks lineup, while concerns persist for Ketel Marte's ankle after an MRI.
On the 13th of August 2024, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. will be back in the arizona diamondbacks’ lineup as they are getting ready to face the Colorado Rockies. The player was previously absent because of tightness in his left hamstring. Particularly, Gurriel will be batting third as the designated hitter, and this announcement also suggests that the player was able to get over his issue rather quickly.
In contrast, I am somewhat worried about Ketel Marte – based on the information provided in the post, the second baseman is still out after receiving an MRI on the unpleasant sensations in his ankle that he has been experiencing. It is mentioned that the player was able to play but had to leave the match earlier, which is not usually followed by another couple of matches. Torey Lovullo, the manager of the Diamondbacks, eagers for the test result and stresses that he will feel much better after he sees it. However, the post also claims that people do not expect a trip to an injured list to be necessary, which implies that the scores of the MRI are promising.
