Minnesota Twins outfielder Austin Martin (concussion) left Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to a concussion, according to Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Martin suffered a concussion after landing awkwardly in right field while trying to make a catch on defense. With Opening Day coming in less than two weeks, the 26-year-old outfielder could be in danger of being forced to open the 2026 regular season on the injured list due to his head injury. The former top prospect looked better in a small sample size of 50 games in 2025 in his second year in the big leagues, slashing .282/.374/.365 with a .740 OPS, one home run, seven RBI, 22 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases in 181 plate appearances. When Martin is cleared from his concussion, he's expected to be in the big leagues as a platoon bat for Minnesota, limiting his fantasy value to mainly AL-only and keeper/dynasty formats.--Keith Hernandez
