Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Martini is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Joe Ryan and the Minnesota Twins.
Martini is absent for a second straight game after previously making four straight starts against right-handed pitchers. The Reds are starting Spencer Steer, TJ Friedl, and Will Benson across the outfield for Monday's opener.
