Ketel Marte’s back stiffness forced him out right before yesterday’s game, triggering a lineup shuffle as Tyler Locklear, Tim Tawa, and Ildemaro Vargas stepped in. The veteran second baseman, entering his 10th season with the Diamondbacks, is on pace with 18 homers and a .773 OPS, having started 96 of 102 games. The game was a makeup from a rainout on June 25, and Marte had played all six games since the All-Star break — his only absence since June 3. The D-backs now head to Washington for a three-game series starting today.
