Victor Martinez

Victor Martinez is in the Tigers' lineup Friday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez is in the lineup Friday, batting sixth versus the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

After a day off on Wednesday Martinez is ready to get back in action Friday versus Rich Hill and the Dodgers. Miguel Cabrera will shift from DH to first while John Hicks takes a seat on the bench for Detroit.

The Tigers own a low implied run total (4.24) on Friday, but with Martinez batting .282 versus lefties this season and holding a career average of .364 versus Hill, he makes for an intriguing play at $2,600.
