  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Marte started the past three games and will receive a day off after going 3-for-13 with an RBI during that span. Christian Encarnacion-Strand will start at third base and bat fifth.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Not in lineup Tuesday

    Marte is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Twins.

    Marte had made two consecutive starts at third base for the Reds, but Christian Encarnacion-Strand will get the nod there Tuesday as Elly De La Cruz covers shortstop. Marte, 21, is sitting on an impressive .304/.368/.405 batting line through his first 87 major-league plate appearances.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Logs three hits Friday

    Marte started at shortstop and went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

    Marte delivered his second three-hit game in the last five starts. He slotted in at shortstop while Elly De La Cruz took a seat for the second time this week against a left-hander. As Reds manager David Bell guides the team during a playoff race, he has managed more tactically over the past week, such as playing lefty-righty matchups or sitting slumping players. One of those slumping is the switch-hitting De La Cruz, who is 1-for-23 against lefties going back to Aug. 23 and hitting .194 with a .526 OPS overall against southpaws. That slump is leading to more opportunities for Marte.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Two hits in return

    Marte started at shortstop and went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Detroit.

    Marte returned to the starting lineup for the first time since suffering a fractured nose during warmups prior to a game last Saturday. He had resumed playing Tuesday, when he scored the winning run as a pinch runner in the extra inning. This was Marte's first start at shortstop, as Elly De La Cruz was given his first rest day since the All-Star break.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Returns to lineup

    Marte (nose) is starting at shortstop and batting seventh Wednesday versus the Tigers in his return to the lineup.

    Marte scored as a pinch runner in Tuesday's win over the Tigers, but this will be his first start since he suffered a broken nose pregame Saturday. He's filling in at shortstop for Elly De La Cruz, who is getting a day off.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Scores as pinch runner

    Marte (nose) entered Tuesday's game as a pinch runner and scored a run in a 6-5 win over the Tigers.

    Marte made his first appearance since sustaining a broken nose during pre-game warmups Saturday. He replaced Nick Martini as the automatic runner in the top of the 10th inning, scored the eventual game-winning run, then played third base in the bottom of the frame. It's unclear if the Reds are confident enough to have Marte play an entire game, but he looks like he's trending in that direction.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Remains sidelined Tuesday

    Marte (nose) remains out of the lineup Tuesday at Detroit.

    Marte suffered a broken nose Saturday when he was struck in the face by a ball during pregame warmups, but he cleared the concussion protocol and apparently won't require a stay on the injured list. Nick Senzel is covering third base and batting second for the Reds on Tuesday.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Avoids concussion, is day-to-day

    Marte (face) has avoided a concussion and is considered day-to-day, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Marte was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals after being hit in the face with a ball during pregame. He was treated for a cut and a bruise. He did not require any stitches, though, and precautionary concussion testing came back clean. "There's a chance he's back pretty soon," Reds manager David Bell said after Saturday's loss to St. Louis. Cincinnati is off Monday, so it's possible the team will hold Marte out until Tuesday just to be safe.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Sitting Sunday with broken nose

    Marte, who is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals, was diagnosed with a broken nose, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    The 21-year-old was struck in the face while playing catch ahead of Saturday's contest and cleared the concussion protocol, but he's still managing a fractured nose. Marte wasn't placed on the injured list amid a flurry of transactions by the Reds on Sunday, so he may not require a trip to the shelf. He could play soon depending on his pain tolerance and comfort level.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Scratched from lineup

    Marte was scratched from Cincinnati's lineup ahead of Saturday's game against St. Louis, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Marte was playing catch with Elly De La Cruz before the game and got hit in the face by a throw when he wasn't paying attention. Spencer Steer will move to third base in Marte's absence, and Alejo Lopez will cover second base Saturday. Marte should be considered day-to-day until the Reds provide more information.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Laces hit, steals home

    Marte went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 9-4 loss to St. Louis.

    Marte managed to steal home in the fourth inning after Willson Contreras tried to throw out Spencer Steer on a steal attempt at second base. He is the second Red to steal home this year after Elly De La Cruz achieved the feat July 8 against Milwaukee. Marte now has six steals and is slashing .254/.329/381 over his first 19 MLB games.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Stellar night in comeback win

    Marte went 3-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's comeback win over Seattle.

    Marte logged the first three-hit performance of his young career Tuesday, reaching on an infield single in the third inning, notching a hustle double in the fifth and blasting his first big-league home run in the sixth. The highly regarded rookie is now hitting .255 with five doubles, one home run, seven RBI, six runs and five steals across his first 17 games (62 plate appearances).

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Collects fourth steal

    Marte went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

    Marte has seen regular playing time since he was called up a week ago. He's hitting a modest .227 (5-for-22) with two doubles, one RBI and two runs scored, though he's also logged four steals. His speed was on display with 18 thefts over 89 contests in the minors this year prior to his promotion. Marte has mostly played at third base, moving Elly De La Cruz into a more permanent role at shortstop while Matt McLain handles second base.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Steals, scores in loss

    Marte went 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    In a game dominated by pitching and some of the league's most exciting rookies, Marte's eighth-inning walk was nearly the difference. After getting on base, the Cincinnati rookie stole second base and scored a go-ahead run on Tyler Stephenson's single. The lead lasted a half inning before Arizona rookie Corbin Carroll delivered a two-run home run. Marte has stolen a base in three of the five games in which he's appeared.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Bats leadoff in nightcap

    Marte started at third base, batted leadoff, and went 0-for-4 with an RBI in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader sweep of the Angels. He did not play in the matinee.

    Marte's eighth-inning groundout produced his first big-league RBI since being called up last Saturday. The righty-hitting infielder was moved up from the bottom of the order to the leadoff spot, as injuries forced manager David Bell to make a change against left-handed starters. Most recently, Kevin Newman (oblique) or Stuart Fairchild (concussion) batted atop the order against southpaws. The manager opted for Marte, in just his third start in the majors, against Angels lefty Reid Detmers in Game 2 on Wednesday.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Sitting for Game 1 of twin bill

    Marte is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Angels.

    Marte will retreat to the bench for the first game of the day after he picked up his first two big-league starts Sunday and Tuesday, going 2-for-8 with a double and a stolen base. Expect him to re-enter the starting nine at either third base, shortstop or designated hitter for the nightcap.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Gets first MLB hit

    Marte started at third base and went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Marte made his first MLB start, committed his first MLB error and recorded his first MLB hit with a ninth-inning double. He's expected to serve as the primary third baseman until second baseman Jonathan India (foot) can return. At that point, the Reds will need to accommodate Marte, Elly De La Cruz and Matt McLain at shortstop and third base. DH is a possibility, but there's a need to find spots for Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Joey Votto, not to mention Jake Fraley (toe) when he's ready to return.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Debuts as pinch runner

    Marte entered as a pinch runner and stole third base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Marte had more than 20 steals each of the last two seasons in the minors. He was called up earlier in the day and is expected to serve as Cincinnati's primary third baseman, per Rob Terranova of MLB.com, while Spencer Steer takes on more work in left field. While it may seem crowded on the roster, injuries to Jake Fraley (toe) and Jonathan India (foot) mean there will be opportunities for Marte.

  • Reds' Noelvi Marte: Earns major-league call-up

    Marte was called up by the Reds on Saturday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Marte joined the Reds organization at the 2022 trade deadline in a deal which sent Luis Castillo to Seattle. The 21-year-old has split time between shortstop and third base at the two levels of the minors this season, posting an identical .820 OPS at both stops while adding 11 homers and 18 steals in 89 games. The Reds have a crowded infield after the arrival of several top prospects this season, though Jonathan India's plantar fasciitis means at-bats are available at least in the short term for Marte to show what he can do.
