Rotowire
Marte went 2-for-5 with a solo homer during the Reds' 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Brewers on Saturday.

Reds' Noelvi Marte: Taking over right-field job
Rotowire
Marte is starting in right field and batting seventh in Thursday's game versus the Pirates.
Instead of benching Marte after trading for Ke'Bryan Hayes, the Reds have made Marte their full-time right fielder, starting him at the position six times across their last seven tilts. Marte is slashing only .216/.216/.324 over his last 10 games and will likely need to pick it back up offensively if he wants to continue playing every day, but Cincinnati appears prepared to do what it can to keep the 23-year-old's bat in the lineup.

Reds' Noelvi Marte: Sitting for first time since July 7
Rotowire
Marte is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
Marte will exit the lineup for the first time since July 7, ending a stretch of 22 straight starts during which he slashed .282/.317/.474 with four home runs, three steals, 11 runs and 10 RBI. The 23-year-old saw most of his playing time at third base in that stretch, but in the wake of last week's acquisition of Ke'Bryan Hayes, Marte may be thrust into more of a utility role moving forward that will include more opportunities in right field. He started in right field in each of the last four games, but he may end up settling into the short side of a platoon at that spot with the left-handed-hitting Jake Fraley.
Marte started in right field and went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Mets.
Marte made his first career start in the outfield and fielded just one ball in right field. He handled it cleanly, scooping up a groundball single and making a nice one-hop throw to the plate. Reds manager Terry Francona told Mark Sheldon of MLB.com that Marte's not ready to play everyday in right field but could see occasional work there against certain lefties.
