Not back on the beat until tomorrow, but posting lineups while traveling after draft duty and off-time kept me away for a few days. Victor Martinez had knee issues while I was away and remains out. Given Martinez’s numbers against Chris Sale, that’s a sign of at least some seriousness. Justin Upton gets a night at DH, with Mike Aviles starting in left. Other than that, pretty standard lineup.
