Summary
Charisse Espinosa-Dash said Wednesday that Ketel Marte is dealing with a personal matter and will undergo a left-knee MRI, adding he hopes to return as soon as possible.
The statement followed Marte's unexplained absence from Arizona's series in Boston, where he missed Monday and Tuesday after failing to report to the ballpark.
Manager Torey Lovullo said he had little communication from Marte and was initially unsure whether the 32-year-old was even in Boston before being told he was headed to Phoenix for exams.
Geraldo Perdomo said Marte told him his knee had been bothering him since the All-Star break; Arizona, 1.5 games behind the NL's third wild-card spot, lost 9-4 Tuesday and has no timetable for his return.
