The Diamondbacks are currently 75-68 and hold that coveted final spot. They are one game ahead of the Miami Marlins and have 18 games left in the regular season. It’s wild card or nothing <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/diamondbacks-news-arizona-top-prospect-jordan-lawlar-turning-heads-impressive-mlb-debut" rel="noopener">for the Diamondbacks</a> as they are in second place in the NL West and trail the first place Los Angeles Dodgers by 12.5 games. A miracle would need to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/diamondbacks-news-tommy-pham-clubhouse-cancer-perception" rel="noopener">happen for Arizona to</a> win the division. Still, the postseason is very much in play, but those hopes might’ve taken a hit today due to an injury to 2B Ketel Marte.</p><p>The Diamondbacks are in the middle of a massive four game series against the Chicago Cubs who are currently above the Diamondbacks in the wild card standings. Arizona has now won the first three games of the series after a 3-2 extra inning win on Saturday. It wasn’t all good news for the Diamondbacks, however, as Ketel Marte exited the game because of <a href="https://twitter.com/Dbacks/status/1700608698559971818" rel="noopener">right knee soreness</a>, according to a tweet from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Marte has had a terrific season this year and this would be a massive loss if he has to miss any time.</p><p>So far this season, Marte is hitting .275 with 22 home runs and 73 RBIs. He has also been extremely solid in the field as the Diamondbacks second baseman. He has a .985 fielding percentage this year and has just eight errors. Hopefully for the Diamondbacks, Marte’s knee will feel better quickly and he can return to the lineup.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The contract reportedly includes the two club options years in 2023 and 2024, and adds three more years.</p><p>The slugging infielder is coming off an injury-plagued season in 2021. However, despite only playing 90 games last year, Marte posted MVP-level numbers for his time on the field. He finished the season hitting .318, while hitting 14 home runs, driving in 50 runs and scoring 52. It’s not the first time he has ascended to that level.</p><p>In 2019, Marte was named the starting second baseman in the All-Star Game for the Diamondbacks. That season, he hit .329 with 32 home runs and 92 RBI’s. He finished fourth in the NL MVP race that season.</p><p>Marte was initially traded to the Diamondbacks in 2016 from the Seattle Mariners. Arizona sent back Jean Segura and Mitch Haniger. In hindsight, it definitely feels like a win for Arizona.</p><p>Marte is expected to do much of the heavy lifting in a rather lightweight Arizona offense. It’s likely going to be a long season for the Diamondbacks. The NL West is loaded. The Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres are all considered some of the favorites to go deep into the postseason this year.</p><p>Meanwhile, Arizona is still lacking for talent at many key positions. Their starting pitching is arguably the team’s biggest weakness, with aging star Madison Bumgarner leading the staff.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
