Medical Staff Pleased With Noelvi Marte's Progress
Noelvi Marte's (oblique) follow-up MRI exam has been moved up to May 27 from June 4 because the team's medical staff has been pleased with his progress from a left-oblique strain. The results of Marte's MRI exam could determine the next step in his recovery. The Reds placed the 23-year-old infielder on the 10-day injured list on May 7, and he doesn't have a clear timetable for his return. Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back) and Jeimer Candelario (back) are both still on the IL as well, so it's possible that Marte will see regular playing time again at third base if he's able to make it back sooner than later. The Dominican infielder was hitting a strong .294/.342/.515 at the time of his injury with an .857 OPS, three home runs, 17 RBI, 10 runs scored and four stolen bases in his 68 at-bats. Santiago Espinal should continue to benefit at third until one of the three return.
