Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez is out of the starting lineup Tuesday due to swelling in his right knee.
Martinez is still dealing with discomfort after taking a pitch to the knee on Sunday afternoon against the Cleveland Indians. James McCann will start at designated hitter for Detroit as they take on the Minnesota Twins and southpaw Hector Santiago.
Martinez is slashing an impressive .287/.346/.466 with 24 homers, 77 RBI's and a .344 wOBA over 578 plate appearances this season.
