Ketel Marte Seen Gambling at Casino Amid Team's Playoff Push

Ketel Marte was seen gambling at a casino on Friday night while his team, the Arizona Diamondbacks, played against the Cincinnati Reds. This incident follows his absence from a game earlier in the week against the Boston Red Sox, which raised concerns about his commitment to the team.

Manager Torey Lovullo stated that Marte is free to do as he wishes, as players on the injured list are not required to attend games. However, Marte's recent no-show had already caused tension, leading to him being placed on baseball's restricted list temporarily.

After a meeting with team officials, Marte was moved back to the injured list, allowing for a semblance of normalcy. Despite Lovullo's desire to mend the relationship, pitcher Kevin Ginkel expressed disappointment over the situation, emphasizing the need for Marte's presence as the team strives for a postseason berth.
