J.D. Martinez Retreats To The Bench Saturday
2 years agoBoston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the New York Yankees. Martinez is just taking a day off on Saturday, but fantasy managers need to act accordingly and remove him from their lineups as well. The veteran right-handed slugger has just 12 home runs on the season and is hitting .254 (15-for-59) with a homer, five RBI, six runs scored and 17 strikeouts in 16 September games. Martinez isn't having the year that fantasy managers expected when they drafted him. Bobby Dalbec is the designated hitter and is batting seventh on Saturday against Yankees right-hander Domingo German. In 304 at-bats in 2022, Dalbec is slashing just .211/.282/.362 with 11 homers, 36 RBI, 38 runs and three stolen bases.
