All In On Red

A Diamondbacks road trip began with promise but followed a loss series in Boston that included controversy around Ketel Marte. The team then faced a three-game set against the last-place Cincinnati Reds. The article notes that a viral social media post showing Marte at a local casino reignited debate among fans, despite what it describes as his completion of rehab duties earlier that day at Salt River Fields. It argues the backlash was mostly about timing and optics rather than any active wrongdoing, adding that Torey Lovullo appeared unconcerned and that rehabbing players often aren’t in dugouts. It also highlights Tim Tawa after his July 5 recall from Triple A Reno, citing a .278/.312/.472 slash, a .7484 OPS, a 111 wRC+, and 7 doubles and 7 home runs in 158 plate appearances.
