PHOENIX – The injuries continue to pile up for the Arizona Diamondbacks during this snake-bitten season.
Centerfielder Ketel Marte left Tuesday’s game in the first inning with an apparent leg injury.
Marte hit a ground-rule double off Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta.
As Marte was rounding first base, he appeared to grimace and come in very slowly to second while calling for the trainer from the dugout.
He was immediately replaced by Josh Reddick on base and came out of the game.
The double extended Marte’s hitting streak to seven games. Over that streak, Marte has hit .461 with four doubles and seven RBI.
Marte was placed on the injured list on April 8 with a right hamstring strain and missed 37 games before being activated on May 19.
While there hasn’t been an update yet about the injury, it could be yet another blow to a D-backs team that has already suffered so much in so many ways this year.
