Resting Thursday Marte isn't in the Reds' lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Taking seat Wednesday Marte is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Marte has struggled mightily at the plate overall since completing his 80-game suspension to begin the season and joining the Reds in late June, though his bat has been starting to come around lately. Over his last six contests, Marte has gone 7-for-21 with a home run and two stolen bases, bringing his batting average back to the Mendoza Line (.200) on the season. Despite the recent surge, Marte will cede his spot at third base to the even hotter-hitting Santiago Espinal, who has pushed his way into an everyday role for the Reds while seeing action at a number of different positions.

Absent from lineup Marte is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Impact For the month of August, Marte is slashing .230/.242/.377 with seven runs scored, two home runs, five RBI and a 32.3 percent strikeout rate over 62 plate appearances. Santiago Espinal is starting at third base and batting eighth.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Climbs to .200 Marte went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Thursday's 7-0 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Marte was one of only two Reds to get into scoring position, when he singled and stole second base in the eighth inning. The third baseman has steals in two consecutive games and six for the season. A silver lining to the dark cloud that's characterized Marte's season to date, he hit safely for a third straight game and saw his average creep up to .200.

AUGUST 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Records multiple hits again Marte went 2-for-4 with a home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 11-7 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Marte launched his fourth home run of the season as part of a three-run sixth inning that gave the Reds breathing room. It was the second straight game in which he's recorded multiple hits and raised his average to .197, the highest its been since June 29. It's not saying much, but Marte's .632 OPS in August has been his best month since he was reinstated from an 80-game suspension in June.

AUGUST 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Tuesday Marte started at third base and went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to Toronto.

Impact Marte tied the game in the second inning after the Blue Jays jumped to an early lead with a first-inning run. The third baseman returned to the lineup after sitting out the previous two games and has been replaced in three of the last six. The drop in playing time is the direct result of his struggles at the plate; Marte entered the game batting .181 over 40 games.

AUGUST 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Monday Marte is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact After starting in 13 of the Reds' previous 14 games, Marte is absent from the lineup for a second straight game. Santiago Espinal will bat ninth and play the hot corner Monday. Marte has two hits and eight strikeouts in his last 20 at-bats.

AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Tuesday Marte is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact After making 10 consecutive starts at third base, Marte will get the night off Tuesday. In his place, Santiago Espinal will play third and bat ninth. Marte is slashing .179/.218/.299 across 142 plate appearances this season.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two hits, two runs in win Marte went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Marlins.

Impact Marte's bat has woken up against Miami; the ninth-place batter has three hits, including a home run, in the first two games of the series. His multi-hit effort Tuesday was the third in 31 games and first since July 10. Marte will need to put together a consistent stretch to get back to the middle of the order, where he was projected to bat prior to his 80-game suspension and where he slotted upon his return.

AUGUST 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes yard in win Marte went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 10-3 win over the Marlins.

Impact Marte swatted a two-run homer in the fourth inning to give the Reds a 6-0 lead. It was his third home run of the season and first in 10 games. Marte, who entered the game with a .168 average, batted ninth for the second time in three games and has gradually moved down the order from the fifth spot when he first returned from an 80-game suspension in late June.

AUGUST 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Marte started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 6-4 win over San Francisco.

Impact Marte, who was held out of the starting lineup the last two games, returned to action Saturday, but the bat remained problematic. He has just two hits over the last 19 at-bats and is batting .172 for the season.

AUGUST 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Friday's lineup Marte is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

Impact It's the second straight game on the bench for Marte, who has a .177/.231/.281 slash line and 30.8 percent strikeout rate in 104 plate appearances since returning from his 80-game PED suspension in late June. Santiago Espinal will receive another start at third base Friday and could continue to cut into Marte's playing time after finishing July with a 1.184 OPS in 16 games.

AUGUST 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moving to bench Wednesday Marte is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Now more than a month removed from returning to the Cincinnati lineup June 27 after completing his 80-game suspension to begin the season, Marte still has yet to get going at the plate. He enters Wednesday's contest with a .177/.223/.281 slash line and a 31.1 percent strikeout rate over 103 plate appearances. The Reds still seem committed to Marte as their everyday third baseman, but with the 22-year-old hitting the bench for the second time in the last four games, his leash may be getting shorter.

JULY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Sunday's lineup Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

Impact Marte started Cincinnati's first seven games of the second half but will sit Sunday after hitting .192 with a .592 OPS during that span. Santiago Espinal will receive a start at the hot corner in the series finale versus the Rays.

JULY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plates two in win Marte went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 9-4 win over Atlanta.

Impact Marte joined the Reds' party with a two-run double in the fourth inning. The struggling third baseman, who is batting .181 since serving an 80-game suspension, has hit safely in four straight games (4-for-17).

JULY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in loss Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Nationals.

Impact Marte put the Reds up early with a second-inning solo homer. It was his second of the season and first in 14 games. After serving an 80-game suspension, Marte is still getting his timing down. He's batting .176 with a .499 OPS and a 32.9 strikeout percentage over 20 games.

JULY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to bench Sunday Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Since he completed his 80-game suspension and rejoined the Reds on June 27, Marte had started in each of the club's ensuing 16 games, slashing .177/.212/.258 with a home run and two stolen bases over 66 plate appearances. He'll get a breather for the Reds' final game before the All-Star break, but despite his lackluster production since his reinstatement to the roster, Marte should be locked into an everyday role heading into the second half. Santiago Espinal will spell Marte at third base Sunday.

JULY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Three hits, two runs in loss Marte went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Rockies.

Impact This was Marte's first multi-hit effort since his season debut June 27. The infielder is batting just .176 with one home run, six RBI, eight runs scored, two doubles and two stolen bases over 54 plate appearances. Marte is likely still working some things out on the fly after opening the year with an 80-game suspension, but he continues to see consistent playing time at third base amid his struggles.

JULY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Swats first homer of season Marte went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday in a 3-2 win against the Yankees.

Impact Marte produced the bulk of Cincinnati's offense with his two-run blast in the second inning. That was his first hit in five games since going 3-for-5 in his return from an 80-game suspension June 27. Marte is batting .167 overall since being reinstated, collecting four RBI, five runs and two stolen bases across six contests.

JULY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Steals base in win Marte went 0-for-5 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Marte reached base and knocked in a run on a fielder's choice before swiping a bag and scoring as part of the Reds' six-run fifth inning. He notched double-digit steals in each of the last three years in the minors and is on his way to accomplishing that feat as a major-leaguer this season after notching two thefts in three games since being reinstated from suspension. After collecting three hits in his first four at-bats off suspension, Marte has gone 10 at-bats without a hit.

Cincinnati Reds recall Graham Ashcraft, Noelvi Marte Graham Ashcraft and Noevli Marte are back with the Cincinnati Reds after spending time in Louisville for different reasons

JUNE 26, 2024 • DAYTONDAILYNEWS.COM

Looks set to join big club Thursday The Reds announced Wednesday that Marte (suspension) has rejoined the team after completing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville.

Impact Marte won't be eligible to return from his 80-game suspension until Thursday's series opener in St. Louis, but since he's back in Cincinnati rather than sticking around in Louisville, the Reds are presumably preparing to add him back to the 26-man active roster ahead of their four-game series this weekend. The 22-year-old struggled to regain his timing at the plate during the rehab assignment, slashing .151/.151/.170 with no walks and a 28.3 percent strikeout rate over 12 games. However, after Marte posted an .822 OPS in 123 plate appearances in his first taste of the big leagues in 2023, the Reds look as though they'll allow him to iron out the kinks in the majors. He's seen action at third base, second base and shortstop during his rehab assignment and may have to settle for more of a utility role with the Reds initially until he performs well enough to warrant everyday playing time.
