Noelvi Marte and Hector Rodriguez have both been seeing regular playing time in the Dominican Winter League.

Marte has struggled this winter, slashing .219/.286/.344 over 18 games with five extra-base hits. He has also made four errors in 16 games in the field, all at third base.

Reds prospect Hector Rodriguez recently returned to the lineup after missing a little over a week and a half and is slashing .315/.328/.398 with two extra-base hits and a stolen base. Rodriguez has seen time at all three outfield positions this winter. Rodriguez is the Reds' 12th ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline.

After a strong Arizona Fall League performance led Luis Mey being named AFL Reliever of the Year, Mey has continued his dominance in the DWL.

Over three games, Mey has pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing just one hit. He has walked four and struck out two. Mey's command has always been an issue throughout his minor league career.
