Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte reveals he had around 400K worth of items stolen in All-Star break burglary

New York Post2 days ago
Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte has opened up about the burglary that took place at his home over the All-Star break.
After Sunday's 5-3 win over the Cardinals, Marte shared that over $400,000 worth of items were stolen from his home in Scottsdale last Tuesday, and that he found out about the robbery while at his hotel in Atlanta, where he played in the All-Star Game at Truist Field.
'Not good to know you lose around $400,000,' Marte said through a translator, 'but you just gotta move on.'

After the incident, the AP reported that various personal items and pieces of jewelry had been stolen, and that there had been signs of forced entry.
No one was at Marte's home at the time of the incident, police said.
The Diamondbacks placed Marte on the restricted list Friday, and the 31-year-old did not play in Arizona's three-game series against the Cardinals.

'He's dealing with a personal issue, so he asked for some time off, time away, just to get grounded and get himself back to where he can come back here and play and be a force for us,' Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Friday. 'So it's kind of a day-to-day situation.'
Marte, a second baseman, said he will return to the lineup as a DH Monday night against the Astros.
The burglary is part of a difficult stretch for the three-time All-Star.

Marte broke down crying on the field in a June 24 game against the White Sox when a heckler made comments about his late mother, Elpidia Valdez, who died in a 2017 car crash in the Dominican Republic.
'What happened was in the seventh inning, I came to bat. I'm ready at the plate and I hear this fan shouting. He was on top of the dugout,' Marte said afterward in an interview with 'Danny Beisbol,' as translated by subtitles. 'He yelled at me, saying stuff about my mom. He was like, 'I sent your mom a text last night.' When everything happened with my mom, I was here in Chicago. I was in this city.'
On the field, Marte is enjoying an impressive season, boasting a .290 average and 164 OPS+ with 19 home runs and 40 RBIs.

Rays edge White Sox 4-3, snap Chicago's 5-game winning streak

Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Jose Caballero had two hits and two RBIs and the Tampa Bay Rays scored all their runs in the second inning before holding on for a 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. The loss was Chicago's first since the All-Star break and snapped a season-high five-game winning streak. Tampa Bay's Drew Rasmussen allowed two runs on three hits over four innings, walking one and striking out five. It was just the fifth time Rasmussen didn't complete five innings, so Edwin Uceta (7-2) picked up the win with two scoreless innings of relief. Pete Fairbanks pitched the ninth for his 17th save. White Sox starter Davis Martin (2-8), returning from a forearm strain, was charged with four runs — three earned — on three hits over five innings. He walked four — three in the second — and two of those runners scored. One came in on a balk, and Caballero hit a two-run single before scoring on a groundout after advancing to third on a throwing error. Chicago got to Rasmussen in the fourth. Mike Tauchman led off with a double before Chase Meidroth and Edgar Quero drove in runs. Colson Montgomery his first career home run in the seventh inning. Key Moment Caballero made a diving stop of Meidroth's ground ball that came off the bat at 97 mph to get a forceout at second in the eighth inning and prevent a White Sox rally. Key Stat Chandler Simpson stole three bases, breaking the Rays' rookie record of 27 previously held by Rocco Baldelli (2003). Simpson now has 30. Up Next Taj Bradley (6–6, 4.35 ERA) starts Wednesday for the Rays in their final home game of July. Chicago sends out Jonathan Cannon (4–7, 4.18). ___ AP MLB: recommended Item 1 of 2
