Fantasy Impact:
Martinez has been struggling with a nagging injury to his left knee following off-season surgery, and it shows in his very weak triple-slash of .216/.308/.270 with only 1 HR. This isn't the MVP runner-up from last year that owners were hoping for and for a guy who hit 32 HR last year, Martinez has an abysmal .054 ISO, 51 wRC+, and a WAR of -0.9. Most other players putting up those kind of stats would be clear drop candidates, but unfortunately with the talent of Martinez, owners will have to wait it out and hope he gets healthy and starts putting things together.
