Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman/center fielder Ketel Marte (groin) remains out of the starting lineup on Sunday versus the San Francisco Giants.
Marte hasn't played since being pulled from Friday's contest with a left groin camp. He told Diamondbacks skipper Torey Lovullo he's ready to go, but the club is erring on the side of caution in Sunday's series finale. Ildemaro Vargas is starting at second base.
Marte is batting .309/.359/.586 with 20 home runs, 17 doubles, 51 RBI, and 51 runs scored through 334 plate appearances this season.
