Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte addressed the media on Monday night, following a 3-1 loss against the Cleveland Guardians ( box score ), about a report from last week that suggested teammates were frustrated with his absence from the team coming out of the All-Star break and his frequent day-off requests.

Ketel Marte met with reporters on Monday, Aug. 18, and apologized for being away from the team for multiple games after the All-Star break.

Ketel Marte is having a standout season for the Arizona Diamondbacks, but off-field issues have sparked criticism.
