Reds call up top prospect Noelvi Marte as team battles for playoff spot down the stretch

For what feels like the 90th time this season, the Cincinnati Reds have called up yet another excellent, young prospect. Infielder Noelvi Marte is the latest baby Red to reportedly get the call, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

The addition comes with the Reds in the midst of a tight playoff race. At 64-59, Cincinnati is tied with the Miami Marlins for the final wild-card spot in the National League. The Reds also sit two games behind the Milwaukee Brewers for the division lead in the NL Central.

Marte, 21, ranked as a top-100 prospect on Baseball America's annual list the past four seasons.
