Update: Jose Martinez not in Cardinals' lineup due to Achilles contusion

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jose Martinez is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Milwaukee Brewers due to a right Achilles contusion.

What It Means:

Martinez suffered the injury in a collision at first base on Monday but he expects to be available to pinch-hit, so it doesn't sound like a major concern. Matt Carpenter will start at first base while Yairo Munoz covers the hot corner for St. Louis.

Martinez is averaging 9.8 FanDuel points per game this season. numberFire's models project him to bat .288 with 10 homers, 42 RBI, and 45 runs scored in 359 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
