Update 2:45 p.m. ET: The Diamondbacks have placed Ketel Marte on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain. Andrew Young was called up from the taxi squad.


Update 12:15 p.m. ET: Marte is confirmed out of the lineup for Thursday's game. Josh VanMeter is starting at second base and Tim Locastro is starting in center field.


Arizona Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte is projected out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Marte left Wednesday's 8-0 loss after injuring his leg while trying to beat out a throw to first base in the sixth inning. We project Tim Locastro to get the start in Marte's place.
