Nick Martinez - Getting second straight start Martinez is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

Impact Martinez will be making his third straight turn through the rotation, but his second in a row as a traditional starter after he was previously deployed as a bulk reliever behind opener Tony Santillan on July 30 versus the Cubs. Though his numbers as a reliever this season have been much stronger than what he's turned in as a starter, Martinez might have delivered his best outing yet his last time out Monday, when he struck out five batters over five shutout innings to earn a win over the Marlins.

T.J. Friedl - Clubs grand slam Wednesday Friedl went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins.

Impact The 28-year-old outfielder spoiled a combined shutout bid for the Miami pitching staff when he took Andrew Nardi deep in the seventh inning. It was Friedl's first career grand slam and his sixth homer of the season, and he may be waking up at the plate -- over 12 games since returning from a hamstring injury in late July, he's slashing just .222/.318/.417.

Andrew Abbott - Hit hard in Wednesday's loss Abbott (9-9) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up six runs on six hits -- including three home runs -- and three walks over five innings as the Reds fell 6-4 to the Marlins. He str...

Impact The Ks helped salvage some fantasy value for Abbott, but the southpaw continues to have trouble keeping the ball in the yard, serving up a pair of solo shots to Jake Burger and a grand slam to Derek Hill. Abbott's been tagged for eight homers over his last five starts and 23.1 innings, stumbling to a 6.56 ERA and 1.93 WHIP over that stretch. He'll try to turn things around in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Cardinals.

Spencer Steer - Heading to bench Wednesday Steer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Steer has went without a hit in his last three games and has gone 1-for-22 over his last six contests, so he'll be given Wednesday off to clear his head. He had been in the lineup for every game dating back to May 22 but will see a streak of 64 consecutive starts come to an end. Santiago Espinal will take his spot in left field.

Noelvi Marte - Two hits, two runs in win Marte went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Marlins.

Impact Marte's bat has woken up against Miami; the ninth-place batter has three hits, including a home run, in the first two games of the series. His multi-hit effort Tuesday was the third in 31 games and first since July 10. Marte will need to put together a consistent stretch to get back to the middle of the order, where he was projected to bat prior to his 80-game suspension and where he slotted upon his return.

Ty France - Homers in win France went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-2 win over Miami.

Impact France answered the Marlins' two-run bottom of the fourth inning with a leadoff homer in the fifth. It was the second home run in as many games for France, who made a fifth consecutive start at first base. It appears he's settling in as the club's primary first baseman, regardless of which starter is on the mount. During his five-start run, the first three were against left-handers while the last two against righties.
