In this story:


Cincinnati Reds infielder Noelvi Marte is in the lineup and batting seventh today, but there is a kicker. He is playing right field.

Yesterday, it was noted that Marte had been taking some reps in the outfield to offer the Reds some more flexibility with their lineups, especially against left-handed pitching.

“It’s another option for us out there,”Cowgill told Charlie's Chalkboard. “Especially against a lefty, it gives us a chance to put Espinal at third and get all of our righties out there. You’ve seen (Marte) play, he’s a good enough athlete to get it figured out. He has a cannon. He has all of the physical attributes. Now, it’s about practicing.”

The Mets are starting left-handed pitcher David Peterson on Sunday, and Espinal and Marte are both in the starting lineup.
