Dodgers News: JD Martinez Playing on Friday, Will Go on IL If Injury Flares Up Again

In one of the most frustrating sagas of the otherwise successful Dodgers season, designated hitter J.D. Martinzez’s lingering groin injury is still ailing the slugger from sustained starts in LA’s lineup.

Though he will play in the series opener against the Miami Marlins on Sunday, the All-Star mentioned that he would need a stay on the IL to fully heal from an annoying situation should the issue continue to hamper his production.

J.D. Martinez said he’s feeling good today. They’ve been tweaking his pregame routine to try to avoid things cropping up again.
