VIDEO: Ketel Marte at the casino during a Diamondbacks game

To say the least, it's been quite a week for Ketel Marte and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The 32-year-old mysteriously missed a game earlier this week against the Boston Red Sox, was placed on the restricted list following his absence, and was then moved to the 10-day injured list due to alleged knee issues.

Speaking to reporters before yesterday's (Friday) game against the Cincinnati Reds, manager Torey Lovullo admitted to feeling “betrayed” when asked to describe his reaction to Marte's absence.

But that's not all. No, no, no.

Last night, while the Diamondbacks hosted the Reds at Chase Field, a video surfaced showing Marte spending long hours at a casino at the Talking Stick Resort near Salt River Fields.

And after the D-backs' 9-0 victory, the manager once again had to address this saga.

He's free to do whatever he wants. That's how I see it. As long as he shows up tomorrow morning, is at his post, and finishes his work at Salt River—which I'm certain he will—that's all that matters to me right now.

Salt River Fields is the site of the Diamondbacks' spring training camp and also where injured players go for rehabilitation during the season. It is located three miles from the Talking Stick Resort.

Of course, Marte has every right to do whatever he wants as long as he gets the job done on the baseball side of things. But let's just say the second baseman hasn't been helping himself over the past week.

And this isn't the first time this has happened to him—far from it.
