Orelvis Martinez Fantasy Stats

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Orelvis Martinez was shut down due to an unspecified injury on Monday, but his inconsistent play on the field is likely what also led to him losing his 40-man roster spot. The move comes to make room for Alek Manoah's (elbow) activation from the 60-day injured list on Thursday. Martinez has struggled mightily in 2025, slashing .197/.288/.348 with 13 home runs, 38 runs scored, 32 RBI, a 28.4 percent strikeout rate, and two stolen bases in 394 Triple-A plate appearances. Martinez was once on MLB's top-100 prospect list in 2023 and 2024, but has since been removed from that list over the last season and will look to rebound in 2026. He remains a decent dynasty stash for the time being at only 23 years old.

Toronto Blue Jays infield prospect Orelvis Martinez (undisclosed) was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, retroactive to September 2. The nature of the injury is not known, but at his point in the season, it will all but end his 2025 campaign. The Blue Jays' 12th-ranked prospect has had a rough go of it in 2025 and even worse up until the injury, going hitless in 14 of his last 18 games, during which time he went 4-for-54 (.074). The 23-year-old owns a .176/.288/.348 slash line with 13 home runs in 99 games for the Bisons and will look to make another attempt to get back to the majors in 2026 after making a one-game debut there in 2024, but right now, his arrow is pointing down.

Toronto Blue Jays infield prospect Orelvis Martinez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored against Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday. It marked the second straight day with a home run after yesterday's two-homer outburst. He has matched his home run total from all of May in three days in June and looks to be rounding into form. Martinez slugged 28 homers in 125 games with good walk and strikeout rates in 2023. After a lost 2024 season with the suspension, Martinez has scuffled over the first two months, but has big-time power and could be called up at some point in the summer. He would be worthy of a speculative add in deeper formats.

Toronto Blue Jays infield prospect Orelvis Martinez went 3-for-4 with two home runs and two RBI against Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday. The 23-year-old bounced back to a solid .811 OPS in May after a miserable April when he slashed .147/.237/.279 with a 39.5 percent strikeout rate. The whiff rate is still high at 37.2 percent, and his batted ball metrics are decent, with a 40.6 percent hard-hit rate and 8.5 percent barrel rate. He's flashed impressively high exit velocities in the past, but there is a lot of swing and miss. There's a good chance we'll see Martinez up with the Blue Jays as we get into the summer. In which case, he'd make for a deep league or AL-only add.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Orelvis Martinez has been optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday. Martinez missed a few games after getting hit by a pitch in the hip earlier in the week. He has since returned to action, but didn't make the big league club. Martinez did everything right this spring with a .320/.393/.480 slash line across 28 plate appearances. The Jays want Martinez to get everyday at-bats in the minors until they have a full-time role for him in Toronto. Dynasty managers should continue to hold Martinez as he should make a big impact once he's ready to play in Toronto.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Orelvis Martinez (hip) was forced to exit early during Monday's spring training contest. Martinez is considered day-to-day after getting hit by a pitch in the hip during his lone plate appearance. It sounds like he's only dealing with a bruised hip, so this isn't something that should sideline him for long. Martinez was already unlikely to make the Opening Day roster, but it shouldn't be long before he's playing everyday in Toronto. The 23-year-old has some legitimate power in his bat, so he could be an immediate impact player once he gets the chance to play everyday.

Toronto Blue Jays infield prospect Orelvis Martinez has gone 2-for-4 with a double and home run during his first two spring training games. Martinez has also held a 1:1 BB:K ratio. The infielder went deep during Saturday's contest against the New York Yankees. The 23-year-old is expected to see time at both the keystone and the hot corner throughout camp. Martinez made his MLB debut last summer but was only able to appear in one game before being hit with an 80-game PED suspension, which ended his season. However, Martinez will be eligible to return at the start of the season. Last summer, the 23-year-old flashed elite power at Triple-A as he went deep 17 times across 74 games. He posted a .267/.346/.523 line with a 27:76 BB:K ratio. Given the time he missed last summer, he will likely open the season with Triple-A Buffalo.

Toronto Blue Jays infield prospect Orelvis Martinez is expected to split time between second and third base during spring training. Blue Jays manager John Schneider noted that the infielder still has a lot to prove on the defensive side of his game. Last season, Martinez got the call to the majors in June but was only able to play in one contest before being suspended for PED use. However, he has served his suspension and is eligible to return to the MLB. In 74 contests at Triple-A last season, the No. 2 ranked prospect in the system posted a .267/.346/.523 line with 19 doubles and 17 home runs. He held a 27:76 BB:K ratio and did not swipe a bag. During spring training, fantasy managers should expect Martinez to compete for a depth role alongside Addison Barger and Will Wagner. However, given the time he missed due to the suspension, he will likely open the campaign at Triple-A.

The Toronto Blue Jays optioned infield prospect Orelvis Martinez to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Monday after he finished serving his 80-game suspension. Martinez will now return to the team's spring training complex to close out the year after being suspended for 80 games due to performance-enhancing substances. The team's No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, made his big-league debut this year but played in just one game. In 74 games at Triple-A Buffalo, he hit .267/.346/.523 with an .869 OPS, 17 home runs, 49 RBI and 54 runs scored in 319 plate appearances. The 22-year-old Dominican will likely stick at either second or third base at the next level and has great power despite his shorter stature. Martinez has already shown impressive improvement in the plate-discipline department and seems likely to have a regular role in the big leagues in 2025 for a team looking for more offense.

Toronto Blue Jays infield prospect Orelvis Martinez, the team's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has been suspended for 80 games by Major League Baseball for violating the league's drug prevention and treatment program. Martinez tested positive for clomiphene, a performance-enhancing substance. The move comes shortly after the 22-year-old received made his major-league debut on Friday. While Martinez could return later this season when his suspension is up, fantasy managers in single-year formats that picked him up after his promotion can now safely drop him. In his only game played for Toronto on Friday, he went 1-for-3 with a strikeout. The 5-foot-11, 200-pounder out of the Dominican must remain stashed in all dynasty/keeper leagues for his plus power at a middle-infield position.
