What happened: Marte made his first public comments since returning to the lineup Monday. He previously apologized to teammates after the absence.
Why it matters: The absence came during a tight wild-card race. Club leadership has continued to support Marte rather than impose discipline.
By the numbers: Marte missed two weeks before returning Monday. An MRI found left knee inflammation before he received an injection.
What to watch: Watch for Marte's availability and any further comments from club leadership.
