Austin Martin went 1-for-3 in a 2-1 Opening Day loss to the Orioles with one stolen base on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Martin hit leadoff for the Twins in the opener while drawing the start in left field. The veteran showed his speed in 50 games in 2025, stealing 11 bases while batting .282. He could emerge as a solid source for steals in fantasy if he can reach base consistently this season.
Martin sustained a concussion and was removed from Monday's game after three innings. He ran in the outfield Friday and is showing signs of improvement.
Fantasy Impact
Whether Martin will be placed on the injured list to begin the regular season remains unclear, though his activity Friday could be an indicator of his readiness to play.
Twins manager Derek Shelton said that Austin Martin “went through a workout today and actually did some baseball activities.”
Fantasy Impact
Martin suffered a concussion earlier this week, which he is working his way back from. His status remains uncertain for the start of the season.
Austin Martin left Monday’s game early against the Pirates due to a concussion.
Fantasy Impact

Austin Martin went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in the Twins’ 9-1 loss to the Yankees on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Martin recorded his ninth hit and fourth run of the season, raising his average to .257 with a .297 OBP through 35 at-bats. Though his role remains limited, his speed and multi-position eligibility make him a name to watch in deeper AL-only formats or as a streaming option when active.
