Jose Martinez News
New York Mets utility infielder/outfielder Jose Martinez suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee on Sunday during a defensive play at first base when he ran into an umpire. Martinez is scheduled to have surgery on his knee within the week and should miss up to four months. The injury came at a terrible time for Martinez, who was coming off a poor 2020 and competing for a bench role with the Mets. Martinez can now be ignored in all fantasy formats heading into 2021.
New York Mets utility player Jose Martinez twisted his knee during a defensive play at first base on Sunday. He was hurt when he ran into the umpire. The injury comes at a terrible time for Martinez, who is coming off a poor showing in 2020 and is likely competing for a bench role with his new team. Last season, he hit just .182 with a 28% strikeout rate while splitting the season between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Chicago Cubs. Between 2017 and 2019, he was a strong offensive performer for the St. Louis Cardinals. Martinez will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury.
