Impact Martin suffered the injury while pursuing a flyball in the outfield April 10 while playing for Triple-A St. Paul. Martin had produced a .419/.526/.452 slash line over 38 plate appearances at Triple-A before the injury. It sounds like he could be headed right back to the injured list after appearing in just one game.

Fails to make Opening Day roster The Twins optioned Martin to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact He lost out on the final outfielder spot to DaShawn Keirsey. Martin had focused primarily on playing the outfield this spring, but he can also play the infield and could return to more of a utility role at St. Paul.

Impact Martin is battling for a reserve spot on the roster as he could be a key reserve since he can play both center field and second base. He was regarded as a top prospect as the fifth overall pick in 2020, but he hasn't lived up to that billing given his lack of power (.099 ISO last year in the majors).

FEBRUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned to big leagues The Twins recalled Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact He's absorbing the roster spot of the injured Matt Wallner (oblique). Martin, Manuel Margot and Jose Miranda are options to see more playing time with Wallner shelved.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Twins optioned Martin to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Martin has seen his playing time decrease recently, sitting out four of Minnesota's last seven games, and he'll now be pushed off the active roster to make room for Byron Buxton's (hip) impending return from the IL. Martin has slashed .252/.321/.349 with 16 RBI across 242 plate appearances in the majors this season and could return to the Twins if their outfield depth is tested in the final weeks of the season.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting in second straight game Martin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Dating back to the beginning of August, Martin had been handling a near-everyday role for the Twins, first as an option at second base before more recently seeing the bulk of the starts in center field in place of the injured Byron Buxton (hip). Though Buxton remains on the injured list, Brooks Lee's (bicep) return from the IL could result in Martin being the odd man out of the everyday lineup. Martin will hit the bench for the second day in a row while utility man Willi Castro checks in as the starting center field. The Twins could elect to stick with Lee and Edouard Julien as its main starters in the middle infield, while Castro sees the bulk of the action in center until Buxton returns.

Sitting in second straight game Martin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Sitting Sunday Martin is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Martin went 1-for-3 with one run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over Texas. Manuel Margot will start in center field and bat seventh.

AUGUST 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to bench Sunday Martin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Though Kyle Farmer will get the nod at the keystone Sunday, Martin's path to an everyday role in the infield has opened up with Brooks Lee (bicep) recently joining Carlos Correa (heel) on the injured list. Martin had been included in the lineup in seven of the previous eight games, going 5-for-20 with a triple, three walks and three runs during that stretch.

AUGUST 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Getting fifth start in six games Martin will start at second base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Martin will crack the Minnesota lineup for the fifth time in six games, with three starts coming in left field and the other two coming at the keystone. The Twins should continue to open up regular playing time for the right-handed-hitter Martin against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities to start against right-handers may be more sporadic.

AUGUST 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from 10-day IL Martin (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Martin will return to the big-league roster after a minimum stay on the IL with a strained right oblique. Prior to getting hurt, the outfielder had seen his playing time dwindle greatly and it's unclear if he has a path to more consistent usage moving forward.

Out with oblique strain The Twins placed Martin on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a strained right oblique, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear when the 25-year-old suffered the oblique strain, but he hasn't played much in July with just six plate appearances through the first week of the month. Martin will be eligible to return for the start of the second half July 20. Matt Wallner was called up in a corresponding move to provide Minnesota with some outfield depth.

JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Garnering third straight start Martin will start in left field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Martin will be awarded a third consecutive start after he reached base five times (four hits, one walk) while scoring twice, driving in a run and chipping in a stolen base between the Twins' previous two contests. The 25-year-old still looks to be a part-time player for Minnesota, though he should have a regular path to making starts against left-handed pitching.
