Victor Martinez didn’t answer Brad Ausmus’ call this morning.
The Detroit Tigers’ manager let it slide. It was because his designated hitter was in the process of getting released from the hospital and because Martinez texted him back.
The message? Martinez is feeling a lot better and was headed home, where he will stay in the metro Detroit area for further monitoring over the next week.
“The thought process is probably a week of rest,” Ausmus said.
Martinez was hospitalized after Thursday's game with an irregular heartbeat.
