Chris Welsh sees Noelvi Marte as a speculative fantasy pickup following Matt McLain's placement on the IL. Although cautious about Marte's current lack of home run production and concerns about pitch recognition, Welsh highlighted Marte's impressive speed and contact ability, pointing to six doubles and numerous stolen bases at AAA. With Christian Encarnacion-Strand currently struggling, Welsh believes Marte could quickly carve out a meaningful role if he produces immediately upon promotion, suggesting fantasy managers in deeper leagues or with bench flexibility should consider adding Marte proactively.
