The Cincinnati Reds placed third baseman Noelvi Marte on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left oblique strain.
In a corresponding move, the club recalled outfielder Rece Hinds from Triple-A Louisville.
Marte’s IL stint is retroactive to Monday. He was scratched minutes before Tuesday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves. Marte joins fellow 3B Jeimer Candelario (lumbar spine strain) on the IL.
Santiago Espinal started in Marte’s place Tuesday night and is in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Braves.
Marte, 23, is batting .294 with three home runs and 17 RBIs in 19 games this season. He’s a career .253 hitter with 10 HRs and 50 RBIs.
Hinds, 24, has yet to appear in a game for the Reds this season. He hit .261 with five homers and 11 RBIs in 24 games in 2024.
He’s batting .281 with eight HRs and 32 RBIs in 33 games at Louisville this season.
