What happened: Marte said he planned to apologize to teammates and was sorry for letting Lovullo down. He said he was not sorry for playing cards at a local casino while Arizona was playing.
Why it matters: Lovullo said the timing of the season factored into his approach as Arizona tries to stay competitive down the stretch. The manager has continued to support Marte after his two-week absence.
By the numbers: Arizona entered Tuesday at 73-66, 12.5 games back in the NL West and a half-game out of a wild-card position.
What to watch: Marte's role in the lineup and the club's response during the final month remain in focus.
