The Cincinnati Reds will face the 2024 MLB season without one of their promising young infielders, Noelvi Marte, for the first half of the season, until July. Marte has been suspended for 80 games after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. This marks Major League Baseball's first substance-related suspension of the 2024 season. The suspension of Marte, considered one of baseball's top prospects, is a significant blow to the Reds, a team with playoff aspirations. The Reds are now tasked with reorganizing their infield lineup in response to Marte's absence.
