Dodgers Injury News: Russell Martin Avoiding Rehab Assignment, Will Be Activated Off 10-Day Injured List During Pirates Series

As the Los Angeles Dodgers were still awaiting the returns of Clayton Kershaw and Hyun-Jin Ryu, they lost Russell Martin to the 10-day injured list because of lower back inflammation.

There wasn’t much concern over the injury, with Dodgers manager Dave Roberts conveying Martin informed him in the past it’s typically only taken one week to recover. The veteran catcher also dealt with back discomfort during Spring Training as a result of overworking in the batting cage.

Martin was slow to resume baseball activities, and Roberts said less than one week ago a timeline for his return was unclear.
