Fantasy Impact
Martinez had exited Thursday's game with nausea, and then was hospitalized overnight for observation. Brad Ausmus suggested that Martinez could be hospitalized for another night for tests and observation. Obviously, hope for the best for Martinez, and it's unclear whether his ailment could require more than the minimum stay on the disabled list. Martinez has had a down year with just five home runs and a .714 OPS.
