Looks set to join big club ThursdayThe Reds announced Wednesday that Marte (suspension) has rejoined the team after completing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville.
Advice: Marte won't be eligible to return from his 80-game suspension until Thursday's series opener in St. Louis, but since he's back in Cincinnati rather than sticking around in Louisville, the Reds are presumably preparing to add him back to the 26-man active roster ahead of their four-game series this weekend. The 22-year-old struggled to regain his timing at the plate during the rehab assignment, slashing .151/.151/.170 with no walks and a 28.3 percent strikeout rate over 12 games. However, after Marte posted an .822 OPS in 123 plate appearances in his first taste of the big leagues in 2023, the Reds look as though they'll allow him to iron out the kinks in the majors. He's seen action at third base, second base and shortstop during his rehab assignment and may have to settle for more of a utility role with the Reds until he performs well enough to warrant everyday playing time.

Sent back to minorsThe Reds optioned Zulueta to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
Advice: Zulueta made his major-league debut in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to the Pirates, striking out four and allowing one run over a three-inning relief appearance. He'll head back to Louisville to make space on the roster for Graham Ashcraft, who has been recalled from Louisville to start Wednesday's series finale versus Pittsburgh.

On fire at Triple-ANoel is slashing .402/.471/.705 with nine home runs and a 14.5 percent strikeout rate in his last 30 games for Triple-A Columbus.
Advice: With Kyle Manzardo failing to take a big-league job and run with it and Noel already being on the 40-man roster, Noel could get a shot as Cleveland's designated hitter sometime this summer. The righty-hitting slugger has huge raw power, and while he has seen 25 starts in the corner outfield spots this season, he's probably too big (6-foot-3, 250 pounds) to get regular starts in the outfield at the highest level.

Recalled ahead of startThe Reds recalled Ashcraft from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
Advice: Ashcraft will get the start Wednesday against the Pirates, taking the rotation spot of the injured Nick Lodolo (finger). The right-hander has struggled at the big-league level this season, collecting a 5.05 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 62.1 innings over 12 starts. He appeared to get back on track in two starts with Louisville, giving up a total of four runs with a 12:2 K:BB over 12 innings. Ashcraft will likely be needed for multiple starts and will try to make a case to stick in the Reds rotation indefinitely. Rotowire.comGraham AshcraftCIN - SP10:10 am vs PIT -
Gio Urshela gets Wednesday off for TigersGio Urshela is out of the Tigers lineup Wednesday for the first time since June 15.
Advice: Urshela, who is hitting .253/.292/.322 on the season, didn’t seem likely to play quite this much when he came off the IL last month, but injuries to Kerry Carpenter and Javier Báez have eliminated any real need to get Matt Vierling and Andy Ibáñez playing time at third. Vierling is playing the hot corner today on what’s probably just a routine day off for Urshela. RotoworldGio UrshelaDET - 1B,3B,SS10:10 am vs PHI -
Sitting against righty WednesdayMcKinstry is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Advice: After he was on the bench for Tuesday's 4-1 win while southpaw Ranger Suarez took the hill for the Phillies, the lefty-hitting McKinstry will remain out of the lineup against Philadelphia right-hander Spencer Turnbull in the series finale. The Tigers may not be adhering to a strict platoon at shortstop between McKinstry and the righty-hitting Ryan Kreidler, as McKinstry has now sat in three of Detroit's last five matchups with righties.

Resting for day gameUrshela is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Advice: He'll take a seat for the day game after a night game, paving the way for Matt Vierling to pick up a start at third base. Urshela had been included in the Detroit lineup in each of the last nine games, going just 4-for-34 at the plate to bring his batting average down to .253 for the season.

Resting WednesdayRogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Advice: Rogers had started behind the plate in three of Detroit's last four games while going 3-for-10 with a walk and two runs. He'll get a breather for the day game Wednesday while Carson Kelly draws the start at catcher. Rotowire.comJake RogersDET - C10:10 am vs PHI -
Day off WednesdayWalls is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mariners.
Advice: Walls had a rare big night offensively in Tuesday's win over Seattle, but he'll begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Jose Caballero is getting the start at shortstop for the Rays. Rotowire.comTaylor WallsTB - 2B,3B,SS9:10 am vs SEA
