With the Detroit Tigers replacement outfielders getting solid hits and providing average defense, it’s kind of like he’s still there.
So, what’s the latest with Martinez? Will we (the fans) see him in 2017?
Yesterday, The Oakland Press‘s Matthew B. Mowery provided an update on Martinez via Brad Ausmus:
“Really, as soon as something new happens with J.D., I’ll tell you, but there’s nothing new. There’s no schedule for him to go out on rehab. It’s when J.D. feels like he’s able to play and run — on the bases and in the outfield — he’ll play.
