Marte (ankle) returns, D-backs get boost in the infield

Speedy infielder activated from injured list

Ketel Marte returned to the Arizona Diamondbacks' active roster on Saturday after missing 10 games with a right ankle sprain.

Marte, 28, was one of the Diamondbacks' most productive hitters before landing on the injured list on May 29.

In 57 games this season, Marte is batting .306 with eight home runs, 33 RBIs, and 23 stolen bases.

Marte provides a spark for the D-backs

Marte is a key cog in the Diamondbacks' offense, and his return should provide a much-needed boost.

Marte is a versatile player who can play multiple positions in the infield, and he also provides a spark at the top of the lineup.

With Marte back in the fold, the Diamondbacks will be hoping to make a run at a playoff spot.

D-backs hope Marte's return sparks a turnaround

The Diamondbacks have struggled in Marte's absence, going 4-6 in their last 10 games.

Marte's return should help stabilize the infield and provide a much-needed boost to the offense.

The Diamondbacks are currently in fourth place in the NL West with a record of 31-35.

They are 5.5 games behind the first-place San Francisco Giants.
