CINCINNATI -- J.D. Martinez's debut with the New York Mets will be delayed as the 2023 All-Star continues to ramp up physically after signing late in spring training, manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday.

"We're not going to see him in a while," Mendoza said. "He's going to stay down in Port St. Lucie and get more at-bats. He's feeling it. We knew he was going to need a lot of time. Not only with the timing and the mechanics, but overall with his body.
