Marte went 1-for-4 in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies.
Marte was activated off the 10-day injured earlier in the day and was in the lineup at second base and leading off against a left-hander. The initial plan for Marte, who is coming off a hamstring injury, is to see time in the field and at designated hitter, but at either spot he should bat first or second in the order.

Rotowire
The Diamondbacks activated Marte (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Marte will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back onto the active roster after missing nearly a month of action with a strained left hamstring. The 31-year-old had slashed .346/.469/.462 in his first eight contests before getting hurt.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Joining team on road trip
Rotowire
Marte (hamstring) is travelling with the Diamondbacks on their six-game road trip beginning Tuesday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
Marte has been on the injured list since April 5 with a left hamstring strain, but he now appears to be on the cusp of returning to Arizona's lineup. The 31-year-old is not expected to play in the team's three-game set in New York versus the Mets, but he is slated to make his return when the team travels to Philadelphia for three games beginning Friday. Prior to getting hurt, Marte produced a .346 average with three doubles, an RBI and six runs scored over 26 at-bats in eight games this season.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Plays in extended spring game
Rotowire
Marte (hamstring) hit a pair of home runs and played three innings in the field in an extended spring training game Saturday, Kellan Olson of Arizona Sports reports.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo was enthused by Marte's progress in his rehab and hasn't ruled out the second baseman returning for the second series of a two-city road trip next week. The Diamondbacks begin a series Tuesday against the Mets then move on to Philadelphia for the weekend. Alternatively, Marte could remain back in Arizona and rejoin the team for a seven-game homestand beginning May 5. Lovullo kicked around the idea of easing Marte back into the lineup as a designated hitter against lefties only, as the organization is keenly aware of Marte's history of hamstring issues.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Begins running
Rotowire
Marte (hamstring) has begun a running program, MLB.com reports.
Marte began swinging a bat a week ago and has moved to the next step in his recovery. There's still no word of when the second baseman can begin a rehab assignment. The Diamondbacks are getting by with a combination of Tim Tawa and Garrett Hampson at the keystone.
Marte (hamstring) will take live batting practice Tuesday, Jose M. Romero of AZCentral.com reports.
Marte is ramping up activities, but the big test will come when he's cleared to run, and it's uncertain when that might happen. The Diamondbacks hope the second baseman is ready to return by late April or early May.
Marte (hamstring) began taking groundballs and swings in a batting cage Friday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
As Marte begins baseball activities, his timeline has become more clear. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo estimated a return for the final week of April or the first week of May. That provides much more definition than the "series of weeks" comment Lovullo offered up earlier this week. While Marte works his way back, Tim Tawa and Garrett Hampson will share second base.
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Will miss significant time
Rotowire
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Marte will miss a "series of weeks" with a left hamstring strain, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. "There's no timeline on it," Lovullo said while referring to the injury as a Grade 1 strain. "We just gotta let him heal, let him recover and once we get to that point, we'll start to initiate some baseball activities."
Marte sustained the injury last Friday during the Diamondbacks' recent road trip and underwent an MRI when the club returned to Arizona on Monday. His absence leaves a hole in the Arizona lineup, which is being filled defensively by Tim Tawa and Garrett Hampson for now. Geraldo Perdomo has taken over Marte's spot in the order, serving as the leadoff batter against lefties and batting second against right-handers.
The Diamondbacks placed Marte on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left hamstring strain.
Marte made an early exit from Friday's contest after hurting himself running to second base on a first-inning double, and he'll now be kept on the sideline until at least April 15. Tim Tawa was recalled from Triple-A Reno to fill the open roster spot, though Garrett Hampson will likely be the one seeing more time at second base until Marte returns.
