Noelvi Marte Injury: Begins hitting soft toss

Marte (oblique) began hitting from soft tosses in a batting cage Friday, MLB.com reports.

Marte is at the Reds' complex in Goodyear (Ariz.) working his way back from an oblique injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list in early May. The report doesn't give an estimated return date other than sometime in June. Presumably, Marte will go out on a rehab assignment before rejoining Cincinnati.
