Plays hero Friday Martin went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 8-6 win over the Red Sox.

Impact Martin came up clutch with what proved to be the game-winning two-run blast in the top of the seventh inning. It was a much-needed swing for the 27-year-old, who entered the contest in an 0-for-14 slump over his past five contests. For the year, he's slashing a solid .297/.413/.398 with two homers, 13 RBI, 17 runs scored and seven steals across 155 plate appearances.

Exiting starting nine Wednesday Martin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact Though he maintains a healthy 131 wRC+ for the season, Martin will hit the bench Wednesday while he's in the midst of a bit of a lull at the plate. Over his last four starts, Martin has gone 0-for-14 and has reached base twice during that span on a walk and hit-by-pitch. Kody Clemens will cover right field for Martin in the series finale.

Keeps raking in rout Martin went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI, a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 9-1 win over Miami.

Impact Filling in as Minnesota's leadoff man for the injured Byron Buxton (hip) on Thursday, Martin responded with one of his best showings at the plate all season. The outfielder racked up a season-high three RBI, turning in his fourth multi-hit game in his last six outings. Although Martin hasn't offered much in the way of power, he's batting a torrid .333 with one home run, 11 RBI, 22 walks and seven stolen bases over 105 at-bats.

Riding pine Saturday Martin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Martin has tallied 10 hits over the course of his six-game hitting streak, but the Twins will keep him on the bench to begin Saturday's matchup. His absence will allow Matt Wallner to start in right field while batting eighth.

Hitting bench Wednesday Martin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact He'll hit the bench Wednesday, but after opening the season in a short-side platoon role in the outfield, Martin is beginning to encroach on the left-handed-hitting Matt Wallner's playing time against right-handed pitching. Martin picked up starts in three of the Twins' previous four matchups with righties and is sporting a team-best .886 OPS over 100 plate appearances on the season.

Getting breather Saturday Martin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Martin raised his batting average to .333 with a three-hit performance in Friday's loss, but the Twins will keep him in the dugout to begin Saturday's game. Matt Wallner will start in right field instead and bat seventh.

Three more singles Friday Martin went 3-for-5 with three singles in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Martin is slashing .333/.484/.435 across 91 trips to the plate this season, but 18 of his 23 hits have been singles, as he's produced one home run, seven RBI, 11 runs scored, four stolen bases and a 19:13 BB:K. Martin has been a good source of batting average and on-base percentage, but he's not doing much else. He's also been caught stealing an MLB-high four times. Martin should continue to see regular playing time with his hot bat and good eye at the dish.

Drawing another start in RF Martin will start in right field and bat third in Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact That the righty-swinging Martin is in the lineup versus lefty Patrick Corbin is not a surprise. However, he's now started in right field three times in the last four games, and the first two of those game against righties. Martin has been one of the Twins' best hitters this season and could be emerging as the team's preferred option in right field over the struggling Matt Wallner.
