Ketel Marte leads off Diamondbacks’ Opening Day lineup vs. Dodgers

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ Opening Day lineup is set ahead of Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Leading off for Arizona is second baseman Ketel Marte, followed by right fielder Corbin Carroll and shortstop Geraldo Perdomo.

For Carroll, being in the lineup is a major positive after suffering a broken hamate bone as spring training began.

Batting cleanup for Arizona is catcher Gabriel Moreno, with new additions Nolan Arenado and Carlos Santana next up.

Outfielders Jordan Lawlar (left) and Alek Thomas (center) and designated hitter Tim Tawa round out the batting order. Tawa replaces Pavin Smith, who was originally batting fifth before being scratched with left elbow soreness.

Taking the mound for Arizona is starter Zac Gallen, who was given the nod with original Opening Day starter Merrill Kelly dealing left intercostal nerve irritation.

Kelly was placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday.
