Angel Martinez Back From Foot Injury on Tuesday
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Angel Martinez (foot) is starting in right field on Tuesday and will hit fifth against the hosting New York Yankees and right-hander Cam Schlittler in the Bronx, according to MLB.com. Martinez returns to the fold after suffering a right-foot strain during Saturday's contest versus the Boston Red Sox. The 24-year-old Dominican outfielder will be looking to bust out of a slump at the end of May that saw him go 5-for-37 (.135) with a double, triple, four RBI, one run scored, no walks, and eight strikeouts in 10 games since May 19. After the recent cold stretch, Martinez is slashing .243/.281/.449 with a .729 OPS, nine home runs, 29 RBI, eight steals, and 24 runs scored in 55 games across 200 plate appearances in his second full season in the majors. Martinez isn't much of an option for average or on-base percentage, but his power/speed profile makes him a nice asset for outfield depth in deeper mixed leagues. He's currently rostered in 33% of Yahoo leagues.
