Detroit Tigers designated hitter (DH) Victor Martinez is not in the lineup for Sunday's clash with the Chicago White Sox.
It appears to be a day of rest, although it's a tough break for Martinez as the Tigers are taking on struggling lefty David Holmberg. J.D. Martinez is filling the DH slot while Mikie Mahtook plays right field.
Somehow, V-Mart just keeps getting it done as he ages. In his age-38 campaign, he's sporting a career-best 40.6% hard-hit rate with a 36.5% fly-ball rate. Hitting in the middle of one of the game's premier offenses, Martinez should continue to put up useful fantasy numbers the rest of the way.
