The Arizona Diamondbacks pulled second baseman Ketel Marte from the starting lineup minutes before first pitch on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles with lower back tightness.
Marte hit two home runs on Monday in a 9-7 loss to the Orioles to open the three-game series.
The Diamondbacks initially had Marte leading off on Tuesday against Baltimore left-hander Trevor Rogers, but the club moved Ildemaro Vargas from first base to second base and up from batting fifth into the lead-off spot.
