Leads charge with grand slam Martinez went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 8-4 win over Atlanta.

Impact The veteran slugger got the fireworks started with a grand slam off Charlie Morton in the third inning, his 11th home run of the season and one of three Mets long balls in the frame. Martinez snapped an 18-game homer drought with the blast, but his bat has been coming around since the All-Star break -- over his last seven games, he's gone 9-for-29 (.310).

Out of lineup Sunday Martinez isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup versus Colorado.

Impact Martinez will begin the final game before the All-Star break on the bench while Pete Alonso gets a day out of the field as the DH. Martinez went hitless while striking out five times in eight at-bats over the first two games of the series and is batting just .194 with a homer, four RBI and a 37.2 percent strikeout rate across 11 contests in July.

Busts slump with three hits Martinez went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs Thursday against the Nationals.

Impact Martinez entered Thursday's contest mired in a 4-for-32 (.125) slump over the previous 10 games but reached base four times while collecting just his third three-hit performance of the season. It was also just the second time in 12 games he drove in at least one run. Despite the recent slump, the 36-year-old Martinez continues to provide quality production in his 14th season, posting a .274 average with 10 homers, 15 doubles, 38 RBI and 27 runs over 234 at-bats.

Getting breather Monday Martinez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The Mets are concluding their four-game series with the Pirates with a Monday contest that begins at 12:35 p.m. ET, so Martinez looks to be on the bench in what looks to be little more than a veteran's maintenance day. Francisco Alvarez will get a day off behind the dish and will occupy Martinez's usual spot in the lineup at designated hitter.

Returning to bench Thursday Martinez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Martinez returned to action Wednesday after missing one game due to ankle soreness, but he'll head back to the bench for Thursday's morning start time. DJ Stewart will bat fifth as the designated hitter in the series finale at Washington.

JULY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoining lineup Wednesday Martinez (ankle) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The 36-year-old was scratched from Tuesday's starting nine due to ankle soreness, which apparently surfaced because he was forced to try out a new pair of cleats. Martinez has since received another shipment of his usual cleats and shouldn't have any issues going forward.

JULY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with ankle soreness Martinez was scratched from the Mets' lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus Washington due to left ankle soreness, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact The severity of Martinez's injury isn't immediately apparent, but it's enough of a nuisance to keep him from playing Tuesday. Luis Torrens will step into the lineup as New York's designated hitter and bat sixth while Martinez rests.

Slugs go-ahead homer in extras Martinez went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer and two walks in Monday's 9-7 win against the Nationals.

Impact The New York designated hitter blasted a titanic 420-foot homer off Hunter Harvey in the 10th inning to break the tie. The round tripper was a welcome sight for Martinez, as he entered this contest on a bit of a cold spell, slashing .211/.333/.342 across 47 plate appearances in his previous 10 games with just one homer. The veteran power hitter now sports a .278 with 10 home runs, 37 RBI and 22 runs scored in 209 at-bats overall.
