Ketel Marte’s sidelined for 10 days with hamstring and knee inflammation, but the Diamondbacks hope it’s a short stop — he’s been vital this season with 21 homers and 67 RBIs. With the team clinging to a one-game wild-card lead over the Padres, they’ve brought in veteran infielder Santiago Espinal on a minor league deal to fill the void. Meanwhile, the Dodgers’ recent seven-game skid and shaky home performance raise questions despite their sweep of the Rockies. And in a historic feat, Jacob deGrom reached 2,000 strikeouts in the fewest games and innings ever — earning a standing ovation in his win against the Nationals. Brewers manager Pat Murphy, though proud of his team’s record, insists there’s still room to grow — even if others see perfection.
