Marte signed a six-year contract extension reportedly worth $116.5 million earlier this week.
The 31-year-old is hitting .346 with three doubles and six walks in 26 at-bats this season.
Marte has blossomed into one of baseball's best second basemen over nine seasons with the Diamondbacks. He put together the best campaign of his career in 2024, finishing third in NL MVP voting after setting career highs in home runs (36) and RBIs (95) across 136 appearances.
