J.D. Martinez News
Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez was seeing the ball well in Monday night's 8-3 win over the visiting Detroit Tigers. Martinez finished the team's 92 win of the year by going 3-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI, two runs scored and a strikeout. The time off that Martinez took in August due to a lingering hamstring issue appears to have done him some good, as he's gone 15-for-48 (.313) with three home runs, two doubles, 15 RBI and seven runs scored in 13 starts since coming off the injured list on Aug. 15. The six-time All-Star needs just two more home runs to reach the 30-homer mark for the fifth time in his career. Martinez is hitting .266/.318/.556 overall with an .873 OPS, 24 doubles, two triples, 91 RBI and 55 runs scored in 101 games in his first year in LA.
Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez (groin) has been activated from the 10-day injured list following a successful rehab assignment. In a corresponding move, infielder Michael Busch was optioned to Triple-A. The 36-year-old Martinez is enjoying a strong season in which he has 25 homers, a .370 xwOBA, a .551 xSLG, and a 54.7 percent hard-hit rate. Needless to say, his return is great news for the Dodgers and fantasy managers alike.
Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez (groin) will take part in a simulated game on Saturday, and if that goes well, he's scheduled to join Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday for a few minor-league rehab games. If Martinez can avoid any setbacks from a lingering back/hamstring injury next week, the Dodgers expect him to return from the injured list next Friday, Sept. 8, for the series opener against the Washington Nationals. Given the Dodgers' big lead in the National League West, they've had the luxury of taking their time with the 36-year-old veteran slugger. He's been out since Aug. 22 but should eventually return to being LA's regular DH heading into the postseason. Martinez has had a strong first season with the Dodgers, hitting .256/.309/.547 with an .856 OPS, 25 home runs, 78 RBI and 49 runs scored in 351 at-bats.

After spending the last five seasons in Boston, J.D. Martinez will join his former teammate Mookie Betts on the Los Angeles Dodgers for the 2023 season on a one-year, $10 million contract. Martinez reinvigorated his career with the Red Sox in 2018, permanently taking over designated hitter duties from David Ortiz, and helped lead them to a World Series title. He was named an All-Star in each of his full four seasons in Boston (excluding the 2020 COVID-shortened season), and during that span, he swatted 130 home runs, drove in 285, and posted an OPS of .912. Although his home run total was down significantly in 2022 (28 in 2021 compared to just 16 in '22), he still ranked within the 87th percentile in Barrel% and xSLG and 78th in Max Exit Velocity. However, Martinez may experience a rude awakening as he shifts from the hitter-friendly Fenway Park to the pitcher-friendly Dodger Stadium. ATC projects the three-time Silver Slugger to slash .260/.328/.448 with a .336 WOBA, 21 homers, and 74 RBI. Martinez's ADP of 193 checks out as the veteran power hitter enters his age-35 season.
