PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte left Saturday night’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies with a left ankle contusion, the team said.

Marte said after Arizona's 11-1 victory that he was fine and didn't need X-rays.

“I'll be ready to play Monday,” he said through an interpreter.

In the fourth inning, with Arizona leading 2-0, Philadelphia catcher Garrett Stubbs lined a hit off third baseman Eugenio Suárez’s glove and stretched it into a double. The throw to Marte covering second was late and Stubbs’ head-first slide landed him on the back of Marte’s left leg as the fielder was on his knee, and he fell to the ground in pain. He eventually left the field under his own power with a trainer and was replaced by Kevin Newman.
