Reds' Noelvi Marte: Playing time on upswing
Rotowire
Marte will start in right field and bat eighth in the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.
Despite going 0-for-6 at the plate over his last two starts, Marte will stick in the lineup for the third time in four games. Though the Reds appear to be prioritizing Marte ahead of rookie Hector Rodriguez -- who is on the bench for a fourth straight contest -- Michael Toglia could eventually cut into Marte's playing time. Toglia has been included in the lineup for four of the Reds' last six games, with his last two starts coming at corner-outfield positions.

Reds' Noelvi Marte: In lineup against lefty
Rotowire
Marte started in right field and went 1-for-2 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.
Marte singled and scored in the second inning before driving in the game-winning run on a sacrifice fly in the sixth. He returned to the lineup after being held out against a right-hander Tuesday, when the Reds used rookie call-up Hector Rodriguez in right field. The left-handed batting Rodriguez is considered a top prospect in the organization and could emerge as the strong side of a platoon in right field while Spencer Steer (wrist) is on the injured list. After an initial burst of production when recalled in June (.913 OPS in 12 games), Marte's bat has languished since with a .173/.212/.296 slash line over 30 games since June 22.
Marte will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Marte will pick up a sixth consecutive start after going 4-for-19 with a double, an RBI, a run and an 0:7 BB:K over the Reds' previous five contests. He looks like he'll occupy a regular spot in the lineup while Spencer Steer (wrist) is on the injured list.

Reds' Noelvi Marte: Makes impact off bench
Rotowire
Marte entered as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-4 win over the Pirates.
Marte was the difference-maker in the win, swatting a pinch-hit, two-run home run in the eighth inning to break a 4-4 tie. It was his first homer as a pinch hitter. Marte has been a regular in right field but can open games on the bench, as manager Terry Francona manipulates starting lineups to get playing time for the versatile Spencer Steer.
Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Marte tied the game in the sixth inning with a 448-foot blast of Zac Gallen, his third homer of the year, all of which have come in his last three games. The 24-year-old Marte has seen steady playing time in the outfield since returning to the majors earlier this month. He's gone 8-for-26 (.308) with a 1.049 OPS in nine games since his recall after slashing just .138/.194/.138 across 11 contests earlier in the season. One major difference between how Marte is hitting now compared to earlier this season is that he's not chasing balls outside the zone, per C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic. During his initial stint, he had 10 strikeouts over 31 plate appearances compared to just five in 28 PAs since his recall.
