Detroit Tigers Lineup Longs for J.D.’s Return
The Detroit Tigers are desperate to get J.D. Martinez back on the field. A healthy Martinez in the middle of the lineup could be the difference in whether they are able to reach the postseason in 2016.
Detroit Tigers outfielder J.D. Martinez has been out since fracturing his elbow on June 16 against the Royals and it’s become apparent to anyone that’s paying attention that this team misses him dearly.
It hasn’t been the best year for the Tigers offense, but the panic button was never really close to being hit until this week, when this supposedly high-powered group struggled mightily with the lowly Minnesota Twins.
