Marte went 3-for-5 with two steals, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old third baseman capped off a brilliant weekend in Colorado by notching his second career multi-steal game. In the three-game series at Coors Field, Marte batted .467 (7-for-15) with a homer, a double and seven RBI. Overall, he has opened the season with a .364/.404/.659 slash line with three homers, four steals, 15 RBI and eight runs scored across 47 plate appearances.

Marte went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Marte gave the Reds an early lead with a two-run shot in the second inning. It was his third home run in the last six games, during which Marte's driven in 12 runs while slashing .444/.483/.889. He's producing like a player that doesn't want to go back to Triple-A and has become the primary third baseman for now. That position was projected to be filled by a rotation of Gavin Lux and Jeimer Candelario.

Marte went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-7 win over the Rockies. He was also caught stealing.

EDGE Analysis

Marte delivered the first two Cincinnati runs and then scored its sixth run. The effort continued a sizzling stretch for the third baseman, who is 11-for-22 with three doubles, two home runs, 10 RBI and five runs scored over the last five contests. After batting in the lower third of the batting order upon his arrival from Triple-A Louisville, Marte batted fifth the last two games.

Marte went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Marte put a charge into the ball, which left his bat at 116.7 miles per hour and landed 431 feet away. He made a third consecutive start at third base, homered for the second time in those three starts and has eight hits (five for extra bases) over his last 14 at-bats. Thus far, Marte has shown much better version of the player that missed 80 games due to a suspension and batted just .210 over 66 games in 2024. He began the season in the minors but is angling for a permanent role in the majors in the wake of his latest performance. Even with Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back) stuck on the injured list, the Reds seem to be prioritizing Marte at third base ahead of Jeimer Candelario, who is handling more of a part-time role while Spencer Steer serves as Encarnacion-Strand's primary replacement at first base.

Marte went 5-for-7 with a homer, two doubles, seven RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 24-2 blowout at Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Marte popped his first career grand slam off position-player pitcher Jorge Mateo in the eighth inning. The 23-year-old also set a new single-game career high in RBI with seven, easily besting his previous mark of three set Sept. 30, 2023. Marte entered this game with just one hit (1-for-12) but now boasts a .316/.350/.579 slash line across 20 plate appearances.

The Reds recalled Marte from Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Marte was just sent down Tuesday but has returned to take the roster spot vacated by Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 23-year-old didn't play much in his previous brief stint with the Reds and might not this time around, either, although there should be some reps at third base up for grabs while Jeimer Candelario shifts over to first base to cover for Encarnacion-Strand.

The Reds optioned Marte to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old was called up last week and appeared in three games during his brief time in the majors, going 1-for-6 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored. Marte is heading back to the minors with Matt McLain (hamstring) making his return from the injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Marte made his first start since being called up earlier this week. He singled in the seventh inning and scored the Reds' final run.

EDGE Analysis

With Christian Encarnacion-Strand getting the day off, Jeimer Candelario will shift over to first base while Marte makes his first start of the 2025 campaign at the hot corner.
