Marte batted eighth and went 3-for-3 with a double, a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's spring exhibition game against Team Cuba.

EDGE Analysis

Statistics compiled against WBC teams don't count toward an MLB player's official line, but the home run was Marte's second this spring. He had finished up the 2025 season as the team's primary No. 2 batter, but the Reds are looking to return a rejuvenated Matt McLain to that role in 2026. Marte, who has been deployed at several spots in the order this spring, will have a home somewhere as the team's primary right fielder.

Marte will receive opportunities to play center field this spring, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

TJ Friedl is expected to get the most starts in center field this season, but the Reds want to see how Marte handles the new position. Marte moved from third base to right field in 2025, and though there were growing pains, he eventually proved himself to be competent and enters 2026 as the primary starter in right.

Marte isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Marte will step out of the starting nine after going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's Game 1 loss. Spencer Steer will move to the outfield as a result, opening up first base for Sal Stewart.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a single and a run scored in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Marte, who homered in a 4-3 extra-innings win Wednesday, helped keep the Reds' postseason hopes alive for a second consecutive day. He singled in Cincinnati's first run and scored what eventually was the game-deciding run in the fifth inning. He wasn't done. In the ninth inning, the converted infielder robbed Bryan Reynolds of a game-tying home run over the right-field wall and preserved the win. With Austin Hays (back) still unavailable, Marte should continue to play daily.

Marte is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Marte started five games in a row prior to sitting Thursday against a righty, starting Friday against a lefty and now sitting again against righty Javier Assad. In both cases, Will Benson has started in right field with Austin Hays in left. Marte is hitting .149 with 18 strikeouts and three walks over his last 12 games, so he may continue to lose playing time against righties. The Reds are tentatively scheduled to face only right-handed starters in their final eight games of the regular season.

Marte isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

The Reds will give Marte a chance to catch his breath Thursday after he went 6-for-22 with a homer during his last five games. Will Benson will fill the void in right field while batting fifth.

Marte is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Marte will yield to Will Benson in right field on Friday for the second time in three games. Marte is in the midst of a 1-for-21 (.048) slump, and he's struck out 13 times during that stretch.

Marte went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Monday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

The Reds squandered a lead in the top of the ninth inning but mounted their own comeback in the bottom of the frame. Marte finished it with a two-run single to walk off Toronto. He's scuffled the last week, batting .200 (6-for-30) with a 36.4 strikeout percentage, but Marte has delivered key hits during that run, including two home runs in addition to Monday's heroics.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

A day after making his first career start in center field, Marte served as the Reds' right-fielder Wednesday. He accounted for Cincinnati's only run of the contest when he swatted a solo homer off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning. Marte came into the game in a 3-for-19 stretch at the plate on the heels of an 11-game hitting streak during which he batted a robust .447.

Marte started in center field and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Marte, who transitioned from third base to right field midseason, made his first career start in the center field. Unfortunately for the Reds, it showed in the sixth inning when Marte misjudged a flyball that sailed over his head for a two-run double. He was later moved to right field, which has been his home on the diamond for the last month.
