Eligibility
2B/OF Michael Martinez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a two-RBI single in the Cactus League vs. Mariners on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Michael Martinez is not a power hitter, having hit just 45 home runs over 11 seasons. The 34-year-old is a non-roster invitee vying with Erik Gonzalez and Ronny Rodriguez for a spot on the Indians' bench. He has a .197/.241/.266 slash line with four stolen bases over 267 games in the Major Leagues, so it is safe to assume that he has no fantasy value for 2017.
LF/SS Michael Martinez went 2-for-4 and 0-for-4 in the doubleheader vs. White Sox on Monday. Both of his hits were doubles.
Fantasy Impact
Michael Martinez has useful position versatility, having played left field, center field and second base in these two games. Although he is hitting .313 (5-for-16), his track record suggests that the 33-year-old will struggle to provide much value to fantasy owners.
2B/OF Michael Martinez was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday with the news that LF MIchael Brantley landed on the DL.
Fantasy Impact
The 33-year-old has played 204 games in the big leagues between the Phillies and Indians with five home runs, four stolen bases and a .187 AVG. He has been hitting well in Triple-A with a home run on Friday. He offers multi-position eligibility and although he gives the Indians roster flexibility, it is difficult to see him providing much fantasy value.
Michael Martinez went 3-for-4 with a run, an RBI, a strikeout and a caught-stealing in Sunday's victory over the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
Michael Martinez got the start in left field with Michael Brantley at DH. Martinez is a switch-hitting, 32-year-old with a 0.768 OPS in Triple-A this year. He hit five home runs and swiped 11 bases with a batting average of .289. It is not likely that he will have much fantasy value.
