Reds Manager Provides Injury Updates on Noelvi Marte and Austin Hays

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona spoke to reporters ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Twins and provided key injury updates on Austin Hays and Noelvi Marte.

Hays felt good today, which is a big step forward after his foot didn't seem to be improving much last week, according to Charlie Clifford of NBC 5.

The outfielder has been on the injured list since May 30 with a left-foot contusion after fouling a ball off of his foot against the Royals.

Hays is hitting .303 with six home runs in 31 games for Cincinnati this season. He's been one of the most consistent hitters in the lineup when healthy, but has had trouble staying healthy this season.

Noelvi Marte is getting an MRI on Wednesday. If it comes back clean, he will start rehab games with the ACL Reds on Friday.

The infielder has been on the injured list since May 7 with a left oblique strain. He is hitting .294 with eight extra-base hits in 19 games with the Reds this season.
