J.D. Martinez will get a decent amount of time in the outfield, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports. Martinez is primarily expected to be Boston's designated hitter, but the team intends to play him occasionally in the outfield in order to open up at-bats for Hanley Ramirez and Mitch Moreland.

Fantasy Impact:

Martinez is not known for his outfield defense and should see the bulk of his playing time at DH. But he should see enough time in the field to retain his OF status in fantasy leagues.
