Dust has begun to settle inside the Arizona Diamondbacks' organization, for now. The ongoing drama surrounding second baseman Ketel Marte, his unspecified personal matter, unexpected no-show and Restricted List stint has reached as much of a conclusion as could have been expected. Marte, alongside his agent, had a reportedly productive meeting with GM Mike Hazen and manager Torey Lovullo on Thursday. He was moved from the RL to the injured list with inflammation in his knee shortly following.This story clearly had somewhat of an effect on the rest of the team. They were blown out in back-to-back games by the Red Sox following Marte's initial absence, only just managing to salvage what was a massive series finale before heading back to Phoenix.Lovullo touched on the feelings of frustration and betrayal, and Arizona seems poised to move on from the incident and welcome Marte back. But inside the clubhouse, there may still be some confusion. Some of Marte's teammates spoke with reporters on Friday regarding this past week's events.

"It's disappointing how the things that happened happened," Ginkel said. "I think a lot of players are kind of frustrated with how it just happened." "It's complicated. I don't know what's going on with Marty mentally. ... I think the biggest thing is just getting him right physically. I don't know what he's going through mentally, but for us to go where we want to go, we've got to have him here."At the same time, Ginkel acknowledged the personal and mental aspect of the situation — the parts that can sometimes be bigger than the game."I know it left some players questioning what was going on, but at the end of the day, everybody has their own objectives," he said. "People have stuff going on off the field that we have to push through. I think it's important for us to rely on each other if there is some stuff going on off the field that we can fall back on. "I know we have a job to do, but there are things that sometimes take you away from the game mentally. It's all about falling back on one another."The hope is that Marte, once healthy and activated, will return to the team and address his teammates regarding the situation. Ginkel said it would be "nice to hear" an explanation. Aug 9, 2026; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chase Field.

"Everyone goes through their own things, and obviously, I'm not him and I don't know what's going on with whatever is going on in his life. So for me, for sure, I'm always open to hearing whatever somebody's got to say," Waldschmidt said. "I'm ready to have him back whenever. The type of player he is, the type of person he is. He's a great guy. Obviously, [me] being a young guy, he's always very welcoming to me. He's always very friendly. He's asked me how I'm doing — if I need anything. He's always there for me. I'm always open to Ketel and I'm ready for him to be back whenever he is."Waldschmidt said the veteran leaders inside Arizona's clubhouse have "done a great job" in helping the team remain as focused as possible. "I think they've done a great job at least keeping the team and the heads in the right spot, keeping us ready to play and ready to go out there and just do what we have to do to win games," the outfielder said. "Obviously, you try to limit [the distraction] as much as possible. When one of your best players isn't around, obviously, you think about it for a little bit. But for me, it's the same thing. The preparation I put in, the preparation for the game, everything is the same. ... we can control being ready for the game and doing what we can to go out there and compete."Generally-positive catcher Gabriel Moreno did not appear fazed by the situation.Earlier in the week, Moreno had come to Marte's defense — to a degree — on social media, after some reports stated that the second baseman had not responded to Moreno's outreach. Moreno debunked that pubicly, saying Marte did, in fact, respond to his text. "I don't have [anything] in my head about it," the backstop said. "We get a chance to make the playoffs, and we're gonna keep rolling."The Diamondbacks are going to need Marte at his best — both physically and mentally — as the playoff chase heats up. Confusion, frustration and all other colors of the emotional rainbow may take time to fade. Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
