Fantasy baseball managers who have been grappling with navigating the crowded Cincinnati Reds lineup received some much-needed clarity over the weekend following the news of rookie 3B Noelvi Marte's suspension for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. Marte, who had shown promise as a potential 20-HR, 20-SB option, will now be sidelined for 80 games after a solid rookie season in 2023 where he hit .316 with three home runs and six stolen bases in 35 games. The roster situation in Cincinnati has been a point of intrigue, with the offseason signing of 3B/1B Jeimer Candelario now making more sense in light of Marte's suspension. Candelario can now be a primary starter at third base without concerns over playing time, while Christian Encarnacion-Strand holds down first base. The middle infield features the duo of Matt McLain and Elly De La Cruz, with Spencer Steer seemingly settled in left field. Notably, former NL Rookie of the Year Jonathan India has been getting some reps in left field during spring games. With Marte's absence creating opportunities, the spotlight now shifts to the underrated Candelario and the intriguing India. India, who had a solid season last year despite dealing with plantar fasciitis, presents a compelling option for fantasy managers in both points-based and roto formats. Although his health remains a concern, India's track record of power and speed makes him a valuable late-round pick in ESPN leagues. Marte, acquired in the Luis Castillo trade, was poised to make an impact. However, with his suspension delaying his season debut until June, fantasy managers will need to look elsewhere for immediate contributions. While Marte remains a player to monitor for the future, he is unlikely to be a factor in most ESPN drafts this season. In other baseball news, the league is set to introduce the Spring Breakout, a series of showcase games featuring top minor league talent from March 14-17, with matchups such as the Orioles versus the Pirates showcasing exciting prospects like Jackson Holliday and Paul Skenes. Baseball fans can catch the action, including potential future stars, on ESPN+ during this exciting new event in the baseball calendar.
