Noelvi Marte Scratched From Tuesday's Lineup
Noelvi Marte (side) was scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup on Tuesday against the hosting Atlanta Braves at Truist Park due to left-side pain, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer's Charlie Goldsmith. Santiago Espinal got the start at third base and is fifth in the batting order, with Austin Wynns starting at first base and hitting seventh against Braves left-hander Chris Sale. Spencer Steer is in left field and batting sixth. Marte has been getting regular playing time for the Reds with both Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back) and Jeimer Candelario (back) both on the injured list, and he's taken advantage by hitting .294 (20-for-68) on the year with three home runs. He's gone 11-for-39 with a homer, nine RBI and two steals in his last 10 games. If the 23-year-old Dominican ends up missing extended time, Espinal and Gavin Lux could split time at the hot corner.
