Noelvi Marte Starting in Right Field on Sunday
Noelvi Marte is getting the start in right field on Sunday for his team's game against the New York Mets. Marte has played multiple infield positions so far in his career, but this is his first big-league start in the outfield. He was one of the Reds' hottest hitters entering the All-Star break, and has posted a .272/.327/.515 slash line with six home runs and five stolen bases in 113 plate appearances for the season. Cincinnati's willingness to play him in the outfield shows an eagerness to force him into the lineup, which could be a huge boon for Marte's fantasy outlook the rest of the way. The 23-year-old former top prospect has battled through injuries and a PED suspension in his career, but he could be on the verge of a late-season breakout.
