Noelvi Marte Getting A Day Off
5 months agoCincinnati Reds infielder Noelvi Marte is not in the team's starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the visiting Miami Marlins. It will be Marte's first day off since returning from an 80-game suspension in the first half of the 2024 season. The 22-year-old has struggled in his first 16 games for the Reds this year, going 11-for-62 (.177) with a homer, two doubles, six RBI, two stolen bases, one walk and 22 strikeouts in 66 plate appearances. He should have a regular role at the hot corner in Cincinnati in the second half, though, and should remain rostered in most fantasy leagues for his power upside in a hitter-friendly environment. With Marte sitting out on Sunday, Santiago Espinal is at third base and batting eighth against Marlins left-hander Trevor Rogers. Espinal has limited DFS upside in the eight-hole and is hitting just .211 (41-for-194) on the season with six homers and six steals.
