The Cincinnati Reds announced Saturday that they've promoted top infield prospect Noelvi Marte, and The Enquirer's Charlie Goldsmith reported that manager David Bell said Marte will start every day at third base.
Marte was not in the starting lineup for Saturday night's second game of a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, but he entered the 4-3 loss as a pinch-runner and stole third base in the 9th inning.
Marte hit his first home run in July for the Triple-A Louisville Bats, a 464-foot bomb during the 7th inning of a loss to the Columbus Clippers.
