Overview

  • Cincinnati announced Monday that Noelvi Marte was sent to Triple-A Louisville and Rece Hinds was recalled ahead of Tuesday’s series against the Giants.
  • Noelvi Marte opened 2026 at .138 with no extra-base hits and 10 strikeouts in 11 games, and manager Terry Francona said he was chasing and trying to hit everything.
  • Rece Hinds earned the call with a blistering start at Triple-A, hitting .354 with five home runs and a 1.246 OPS in 13 games, though past big-league stints featured high strikeout rates.
  • The Reds enter the week with the NL’s worst batting average and slugging percentage and near the bottom in runs per game, so the club is looking for an immediate offensive jolt.
  • Marte’s time in the minors could reduce his chance at Super Two arbitration status, even though his long-term free agency timeline likely stays the same if he returns and accrues service time.
