Manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Marte has a low-grade left ankle sprain and will not require a stint on the injured list, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Marte initially injured his ankle during Saturday's game against the Phillies and aggravated it during his lone at-bat in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rockies. He was out of the lineup Tuesday, but it's unclear how many additional games Marte might miss before his ankle returns to 100 percent. The Diamondbacks' decision to keep him on the active roster is an encouraging sign.
