Victor Martinez not in Tigers' lineup against Rangers
Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez is getting a night off on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers.
What It Means:
Miguel Cabrera is taking Martinez' turn as the DH, while John Hicks is starting at first base Wednesday. The Tigers have an off day Thursday, so this looks like a strategic day off for Martinez. Look for him to get back in the lineup on Friday against the Dodgers.
Our models project Martinez for a .279 batting average, with 3 home runs, 17 RBI, and 15 runs scored over 144 plate appearances remaining this season.
