Marte is coming off missing a month with a hamstring issue and Lovullo had wanted him to take one of these three games off against the Giants, but Marte wanted to play.

Per Dbacks manager Torey Lovullo, Ketel Marte did not leave today's game with an injury. He was feeling a little stiff in his hip flexor and as a precaution he was removed. Lovullo and Marte both said he would be in the lineup Friday.

No news on Justin Martinez's MRI of his right shoulder yet, per Dbacks manager Torey Lovullo.

With Ketel Marte returning, look for Tim Tawa to still get playing time at 2nd when Marte DH's but the team will also give him some looks in center field.

Surgery is not required for Dbacks AJ Puk. Will not throw for next 2-3 weeks. Once asymptomatic he’ll start throwing again.

Justin Martinez was unavailable today. Torey Lovullo said he’s not injured but is fatigued from workload so far. Should be 100 percent ready to go Tuesday.

The Dbacks bullpen was shorthanded today. Sounds like Puk, Martinez and Beeks were down after pitching 2 of last 3 games. Shelby Miller would have been used in 9th. Ryan Thompson was emergency option only.

Wind is blowing straight out to center here at Wrigley Field. And it's blowing hard. So much so that they did not put up the usual retired number flags on the foul poles or the team standings flags atop the scoreboard.
