Back in big leagues The Reds recalled Marte from Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.

Impact Marte was just sent down Tuesday but has returned to take the roster spot vacated by Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back). The 23-year-old didn't play much in his previous brief stint with the Reds and might not this time around, either, although there should be some reps at third base to be had with Jeimer Candelario shifting to first base to cover for Encarnacion-Strand.

Returns to Triple-A The Reds optioned Marte to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact The 23-year-old was called up last week and appeared in three games during his brief time in the majors, going 1-for-6 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored. Marte is heading back to the minors with Matt McLain (hamstring) making his return from the injured list Tuesday.

In starting nine again Marte started at third base and went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.

Impact Marte walked and recorded his first steal of the season in fifth inning before coming home to score on a force out. He made a second consecutive start, as Jeimer Candelario was needed at first base with Christian Encarnacion-Strand nursing back and hamstring injuries.

Singles, scores in win Marte started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a single and a run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact Marte made his first start since being called up earlier this week. He singled in the seventh inning and scored the Reds' final run. It's unclear what Cincinnati manager Terry Francona has planned for Marte going forward. There's a crowd at third base with Jeimer Candelario and Gavin Lux in the mix.

Impact Marte made his first start since being called up earlier this week. He singled in the seventh inning and scored the Reds' final run.

Making first start of 2025 Marte is starting at third base and batting sixth against Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Impact With Christian Encarnacion-Strand getting the day off, Jeimer Candelario will shift over to first base while Marte makes his first start of the 2025 campaign at the hot corner. Marte was called up from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday to fill the spot on the Reds' 26-man roster vacated by Matt McLain (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Marte was slashing .353/.425/.529 with three stolen bases, six runs scored and five RBI across 40 plate appearances in Triple-A before being recalled by the big club.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Yet to make start Marte is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Marte was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday but hasn't started any of the Reds' three games since the promotion, with his only action coming as a pinch runner. The Reds will need to clear a roster spot for Andrew Abbott (shoulder) on Saturday and for Matt McLain (hamstring) on Tuesday, and it's a good bet Marte will be optioned one of those two days.

Debuts as pinch runner Marte entered Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Giants as a pinch runner and finished up the game at third base. He did not get a plate appearance.

Impact Marte made his season debut after being called up from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday. He entered for Santiago Espinal, who got the start at third base. Jeimer Candelario had been the default option at the hot corner early this season, but a lingering slump may cost him playing time. Marte, who had a .954 OPS over 40 plate appearances at Louisville, should eventually work into the rotation at third base.

Up from Triple-A The Reds recalled Marte from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact With Matt McLain (hamstring) headed to the injured list, Marte will rejoin the big-league squad to replenish the Reds' infield depth. The 23-year-old has gotten off to a hot start in the minors, slashing .353/.425/.529 with three steals through nine Triple-A games, though he owns just a .640 OPS in his MLB career.

Opening season in minors The Reds optioned Marte to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Impact After serving an 80-game suspension to begin the past season, Marte was unable to find a rhythm at the plate once he was cleared to rejoin the Reds in late June. He finished the season with a lowly .549 OPS over 242 plate appearances with the big club, and Marte's struggles have continued this spring, with the 23-year-old slashing .150/.182/.400 with eight strikeouts over 11 games. The Reds are hoping that the assignment to Louisville to begin the season will allow Marte to regain confidence and rediscover the plate approach that helped him make a splash as a rookie in 2023, when he hit .316 and got on base at a .366 clip over his 123 plate appearances with the big club. Until Marte proves he's worthy of another look in the majors, the Reds are likely to get by with Gavin Lux and Jeimer Candelario as their primary options at third base.

Impact The third base job battle is wide open, and while Marte technically has a shot to win the job, the way the Reds are handling him to begin spring training buttresses earlier notions that he'll begin the season at Triple-A Louisville. Jeimer Candelario, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Gavin Lux and even Santiago Espinal all have better chances to win the third base job on Opening Day.

Minor league stint possible Marte might be at risk of a minor league demotion to begin the season following the Gavin Lux acquisition, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact After a fantastic splash in the majors in 2023, Marte had a lost 2024 season, starting by getting hurt in Winter Ball and then serving an 80-game suspension for a positive PED test. Once he returned, he never got untracked offensively or defensively, hitting just .210/.248/.301 in 229 at-bats. With Lux on the team, the Reds have to find spots for Matt McLain, Jeimer Candelario and Christian Encarnacion-Strand in addition to Marte, and it doesn't make sense for Marte to ride the bench instead of playing regularly in the minors.

Logs one hit in loss Marte went 1-for-3 and was caught stealing in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Marte logged one of two hits for the Reds, whose bats have gone uber quiet over the final week of the season (league-low .137 average). Cincinnati's lost five straight, including three shutouts, and been outscored 17-3. Marte is doing his best to put behind him a disappointing season, which began with an 80-game suspension due to a PED violation. He's gone 13-for-48 (.271) with four walks, four RBI and three steals (caught twice) over the last 14 games.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Friday's lineup Marte is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Cubs.

Impact It will be a day off for Marte, who has now started 10 of the last 12 games for the Reds while bouncing between third base and designated hitter. The Reds are going with Santiago Espinal at the hot corner and Ty France at DH in the series opener.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Sunday Marte is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Marte has been a regular part of the lineup lately between third base and DH, but he will sit for a tough matchup against right-hander Paul Skenes. Spencer Steer will serve as the designated hitter while Will Benson takes over in left field.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Helps in comeback win Marte went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 win over Atlanta.

Impact Marte contributed to the Reds' comeback from a 5-1 deficit, when his sixth-inning double plated two (one came home on a throwing error). He then stole his ninth bag of the season. It's been a down year for Marte, who never developed any sustained success at the plate after serving an 80-game suspension, but he's in the midst of a hopeful stretch, going 7-for-25 (.280) with four RBI and three steals over the last seven contests.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Drives in two in win Marte went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 11-1 win over Minnesota.

Impact Marte, whose ground-rule double plated two during the Reds' nine-run fourth inning, entered the contest with just one RBI over the previous 13 games. Not much has gone right for him since returning from an 80-game suspension, and recently he's lost playing time to Santiago Espinal. Marte's played just seven of 13 games thus far in September.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes two bags Marte went 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Marte's playing time has been sporadic in September -- this was his fifth game of the month. He's gone 3-for-15 (.200) in those contests while adding a 1:8 BB:K. Marte is up to eight steals on 10 attempts this year while slashing a meager .203/.239/.305 with four home runs, 15 RBI and 22 runs scored over 54 games. He got the start at designated hitter Wednesday, but that has typically been Amed Rosario's spot in the lineup versus right-handers in recent weeks.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Losing playing time to Espinal Marte is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Astros.

Impact Marte has now been absent from the Reds' lineup for two straight games and five times across the last eight contests. Santiago Espinal has been scorching hot since the All-Star break and is garnering another start at third base.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from Cincinnati lineup Marte is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Astros.

Impact He's fallen into a bit of a timeshare at third base with Santiago Espinal, who will start at the hot corner Monday. Marte had started each of the previous three games while Espinal was banged up, but Espinal was in the lineup for the three contests prior to that.
