The Los Angeles Dodgers announced that slugger J.D. Martinez left Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds with left hamstring tightness.
Martinez started the game as the Dodgers' designated hitter but departed before his first at-bat. Chris Taylor replaced him in the lineup.
Martinez has been fairly durable of late, appearing in at least 139 games in each of the previous five seasons except for when he played 54 of 60 during the shortened 2020 campaign.
He signed a deal with the Dodgers this past offseason after previous stops with the Houston Astros, Detroit Tigers, Arizona Diamondbacks and Boston Red Sox.
