Dateline: Cincinnati

Noelvi Marte was optioned to Triple A Louisville after the game Sunday with the Los Angeles Angels.

Although the Reds did not announce a corresponding move. It would be a good bet that Rece Hinds will be promoted to replace him on the roster.

Marte was struggling out of the gate. 

“He is trying to hit everything,” manager Terry Francona said Sunday.

Marte had four hits in 29 at bats and at least two of those were infield hits. He wasn’t driving the ball. One day after his wall catch from last year was commemorated by a bobblehead this weekend he was sent down to make adjustments.

Hinds had a fantastic spring.

He hit .410 in 39 at bats with four doubles, a triple, five home runs and 11 RBI.

Hinds slashed .354/.457/.771 at Louisville with three doubles, a triple, five home runs and 16 RBI in 13 games. 

He is just returning from the bereavement list.
