    • Out against left-hander
      Busch is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Mets.

      Advice: The Mets are sending southpaw Jose Quintana to the bump, which means Busch will begin this one on the bench. Patrick Wisdom is getting the start at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 8:44 am
       
    • Noelvi Marte batting .194 at Triple-A Louisville
      Reds 3B prospect Noelvi Marte went 0-for-5 with a pair of strikeouts on Thursday for Triple-A Louisville.

      Advice: Marte is batting .194 through eight games at Triple-A Louisville as he continues to knock off some of the rust following a lengthy layoff due to a league-issued 80-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:40 pm

    • Belts homer in loss
      Busch went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk against the Giants in Monday's loss.

      Advice: Busch gave Chicago its first lead with a two-run blast to center field in the sixth inning. It was his first long ball over his past 17 contests and just his second across his past 32 games. Busch began the campaign with six homers through 16 contests, so the fact that he's still yet to reach double digits in that category emphasizes the extent to which he's slowed down. Still, the first baseman has been hitting well lately, batting .370 over his past 27 at-bats. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:47 pm
       
    • Sitting out Saturday
      Busch is absent from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Right-hander Andre Pallante is starting for the Cardinals and has reverse splits, so Busch will begin this one on the bench. Cody Bellinger is handling first base and Pete Crow-Armstrong will patrol center field. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:33 am
       
    • Initiates rehab assignment Tuesday
      Marte (suspension) began a rehab assignment Tuesday and is a combined 3-for-10 with a double and two runs scored in two games for Triple-A Louisville.

      Advice: Marte, who is in the final two weeks of an 80-game suspension after testing positive for a banned substance (Boldenone), served at third base Tuesday then designated hitter Wednesday and played all nine innings in each contest. He's eligible to return from suspension June 27. Marte slashed .316/.366/.456 in 35 games and 123 plate appearances in the big leagues last season and is expected to be the team's primary third baseman once ready. Rotowire.com Thursday, 5:23 am

    • Noelvi Marte has two hits in Triple-A season debut
      Noelvi Marte went 2-for-5 with a double on Tuesday for Triple-A Louisville.

      Advice: Marte was back in minor-league action on Tuesday evening for the first time this season as he has less than 20 games left on a league-issued 80-game suspension following a positive test for a performance-enhancing substance. Cincinnati’s infield picture is a lot less crowded at this juncture than it was back in spring training, so he has a pretty clear path to regular at-bats once he’s eligible to return.

    • Noelvi Marte in lineup Tuesday night at Triple-A
      Noelvi Marte is in the lineup on Tuesday for Triple-A Louisville.

      Advice: Marte is in the closing stages of a league-issued 80-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance and figures to return to Cincinnati when first eligible. The 22-year-old corner infielder will get a handful of minor league contests under his belt to get back up to speed before returning to the majors. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:21 pm
