The Diamondbacks placed Ketel Marte on the 10-day injured list following a left hamstring strain during a game against the Nationals. In response, they called up infielder Tawa from Triple-A Reno, who is set to make his Major League debut. Hampson is expected to fill in at second base during Marte's absence, while Tawa, a versatile player with a solid .317 batting average in the minors, aims to prove himself at the big league level. His call-up reflects the Diamondbacks' strategy to maintain a strong roster despite injuries.
As expected, the Diamondbacks officially placed Ketel Marte on the 10-day injured list, a day after the second baseman suffered a left hamstring strain while running the bases.
An 11th-round pick for the Diamondbacks in the 2021 draft, Tawa took a step closer to the big leagues when Arizona added him to its 40-man roster last November in advance of the Rule 5 Draft.
