Cincinnati Reds third baseman Noelvi Marte homered for the first time this season in Wednesday night's win over the hosting New York Yankees in the Bronx. In addition to making a nice backhanded snag in the eighth inning, Marte cranked a two-run homer to left off scuffling Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon to give the Reds a 2-0 lead in the second frame. The 22-year-old former top prospect is only 4-for-24 so far this year following an 80-game suspension, but he's already up to four RBI and two stolen bases in six outings. Marte offers an intriguing blend of power and speed at the hot corner for fantasy managers, and with Christian Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) done for the season and Matt McLain (shoulder) still not close to returning, he's got a fairly clear pathway to playing time for the remainder of the year.
Cincinnati Reds infielder Noelvi Marte made his return in style on Thursday, going 3-for-5 with a double, three runs scored, an RBI, and a stolen base in an 11-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Marte was making his return from a PED suspension handed down before the season started. After a shaky run in the minors before his return to the majors, it seemed like it would take some time for Marte to get back to form. Well, so far so good on that front, as the 22-year-old continued right where he left off last year. Marte can provide all five categories for fantasy owners if everything clicks, so he should be rostered in most leagues, especially categories.
The Cincinnati Reds reinstated infield prospect Noelvi Marte from the suspended list on Thursday and optioned infielder Livan Soto from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. The Reds also transferred right-hander Emilio Pagan (lat) to the 60-day injured list. Marte will make his 2024 debut on Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Miles Mikolas, as he's starting at third base and batting sixth. The 22-year-old has returned to the Reds after being suspended 80 games due to a performance-enhancing drug suspension. Marte didn't look good at all at the plate in 53 plate appearances during his minor-league rehab assignment, but he should be scooped up off the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues where he's available and should play regularly the rest of the season with Christian Encarnacion-Strand (hand) likely out for the season.
Cincinnati Reds third baseman Noelvi Marte is set to rejoin the major league roster and make his 2024 season debut on Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Marte was hit with an 80-game suspension on March 8 after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. The 22-year-old got a small taste of the majors last summer, where he posted a .316/.366/.456 slash line with three long balls, 15 RBI, and six stolen bases in 35 games. Marte struggled through his rehab assignment with Triple-A earlier this month with a poor .151/.151/.170 line. Fantasy managers should not worry about inserting Marte back into their lineup, as he should be viewed as the primary third-base option in Cincinnati going forward. As a result, Jeimer Candelario will now see the majority of his starts at first base. Marte should be rostered in all leagues, as he can be a five-category contributor throughout the second half of the season.
Cincinnati Reds infield prospect Noelvi Marte continues to struggle as he works towards his return to the big leagues. Marte went 0-for-4 on Sunday and is now 7-for-49 with two RBI and a stolen base for Triple-A Louisville. Marte has struggled mightily as he is shaking off some of the rust from serving an 80-game suspension for a performance enhancing substance. Marte was expected to return to the Reds when his suspension is over, but that is three days away and the club may elect to see him prove something before handing him a spot on the big-league spot. Marte was a Top-25 prospect last season and can provide both power and speed when he is at the top of his game. With his potential, he is worth rostering in most formats, but expectations should be managed until he can get going.
