Tigers' J.D. Martinez (elbow) expected back this week
Detroit Tigers outfielder J.D. Martinez (elbow) is expected to return to the Tigers before the end of this week.
What It Means:
Martinez is on a six-game rehab assignment in the minors and is 9-for-29 (.310) with three doubles and three RBI's. He was limited to acting as the designated hitter in the first five of those contests, but was able to play right field for Triple-A Toledo on Monday without issue. He hasn't played since June 16 and owns a .286/.358/.520 slash in 285 plate appearances this season.
Martinez was hitting well before getting hurt, posting a .370 wOBA and a .234 ISO to go with 12 home runs. We project him to hit .271/.342/.495 with a .354 wOBA over the rest of the year.
