Noelvi Marte - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Getting start versus righty Marte will start in right field and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact The Pirates are sending right-hander Bubba Chandler to the hill, marking the first time Marte has been in the lineup this season in the three times the Reds have gone up against a righty. Will Benson -- who has been vying for playing time with Marte -- is also in the lineup as he will slide over to left field while Spencer Steer gets a breather.

Locked in platoon Marte has started in right field in two of the Reds' first four games, both against left-handers.

Impact Cincinnati manager Terry Francona made comments earlier this month to Mark Sheldon of MLB.com about Marte still being relatively new to the outfield, which may partially be the reason he's on the short side of platoon with Will Benson. Marte, ironically, was much better against right-handers (.821 OPS) than lefties (.562) in 2025.

Sitting again versus righty Marte is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Pirates.

Impact Righty Braxton Ashcraft is taking the ball for the Pirates, marking the second time in two games versus righties in the early going that Marte has been on the bench in favor of the left-handed-swinging Will Benson. Marte has started in right field for both of the Reds' tilts against lefties. It's unlikely to be a strict platoon at the position, but it seems at this early stage of the season that Marte is behind Benson in the pecking order versus right-handed pitching.

Out of Saturday's lineup Marte isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Marte struck out in each of his first two at-bats during Thursday's loss before being lifted for a pinch hitter. He'll now stay put in the Reds' dugout to begin Saturday's contest while Will Benson starts in right field, batting seventh.

Gets time in CF Marte started in center field and went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's spring game against Cleveland.

Impact Marte gave the Reds an early lead with his second-inning homer, his third of the Cactus League. Normally a right fielder and where he's spent much of his time this spring, Marte made a third consecutive start in center field, as the club seeks to expand its outfield options. TJ Friedl remains the primary center fielder. Marte is batting .275 (11-for-40) with four doubles, three home runs and 11 RBI through 14 Cactus League contests.

Shows offense/defense Marte went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Wednesday's spring game against the Brewers.

Impact Marte led off the second inning with his second Cactus League home run before stroking a two-run double an inning later. In addition to his work at the plate, Marte, who converted from infield to outfield mid-stream in 2025, made a couple of nice plays in the field. It was a promising development for the relatively new right fielder, who had misplayed a ball earlier in the week, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. "He's got to be our best right fielder," Reds manager Terry Francona said Wednesday. "We certainly think he's capable. I do think there's some more to show. We've told him that." Cincinnati has a few options in the outfield beyond Marte, who is the frontrunner of a group that includes Will Benson, JJ Bleday and Dane Myers.

Impact Statistics compiled against WBC teams don't count toward an MLB player's official line, but the home run was Marte's second this spring. He had finished up the 2025 season as the team's primary No. 2 batter, but the Reds are looking to return a rejuvenated Matt McLain to that role in 2026. Marte, who has been deployed at several spots in the order this spring, will have a home somewhere as the team's primary right fielder.

Will play CF this spring Marte will receive opportunities to play center field this spring, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact TJ Friedl is expected to get the most starts in center field this season, but the Reds want to see how Marte handles the new position. Marte moved from third base to right field in 2025, and though there were growing pains, he eventually proved himself to be competent and enters 2026 as the primary starter in right.

Contributes offense, defense in win Marte went 1-for-4 with a single and a run scored in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Pirates.

Impact Marte, who homered in a 4-3 extra-innings win Wednesday, helped keep the Reds' postseason hopes alive for a second consecutive day. He singled in Cincinnati's first run and scored what eventually was the game-deciding run in the fifth inning. He wasn't done. In the ninth inning, the one-time-infielder-now-playing-right-field robbed Brian Reynolds of a game-tying home run and preserved the win. With Austin Hays (back) still unavailable, Marte should continue to play daily.
