Nick Martini is not in the Reds lineup on Sunday against the Tigers.

Martini collected one hit and scored one run in Saturday's loss. Spencer Steer slides out to left field for the series finale.

Nick Martini made the most of his limited opportunities, going 1-for-1 with a home run and an RBI in the Reds' win over the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

His performance, which also included a walk, provided a much-needed boost to his struggling season stats. Despite a batting average of just .209 and a modest .274 wOBA over 50 games, Martini's ability to connect for his fifth homer of the season could hint at some untapped potential. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, however, as his overall production has been underwhelming. His low BABIP of .238 suggests some bad luck, but not enough to consider him more than a deep-league option or a situational player against favorable pitching matchups.

Nick Martini is in the starting lineup for the Reds Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Martini will draw the start in left field and bat seventh against the Yankees. He is hitting .203, with four home runs, and 22 RBI this season.
