Ketel Marte kept out of Diamondbacks' lineup Tuesday
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against right-hander J.T. Brubaker and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What It Means:
The Diamondbacks appear to be giving Marte a routine breather, which could become a more frequent occurrence down the stretch of the season. Daulton Varsho is covering center field on Tuesday while Josh Rojas shifts to right and Josh VanMeter enters the lineup to play second base and bat sixth.
JVM is averaging 8.5 FanDuel points per game as a starter this season, while Rojas is averaging 10.8 and Varsho 10.6. Brubaker is registering a 23.5 strikeout percentage and a 6.6 walk percentage this season, with a 4.69 xERA and a .329 xwOBA.
