Martin is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

After making 15 straight starts, Martin will sit out for the second time over the last three contests. James Outman will handle left field and bat eighth.

Martin went 1-for-4 with a double, four RBI, a run scored and two steals in Monday's win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Martin made his presence felt in Monday's win despite logging just one hit, driving in more than half of Minnesota's runs and stealing a pair of bags. The 2020 first-rounder has capitalized on increased playing time, posting an .832 OPS over his last 15 games and an .810 mark across his past 30 contests.

Martin will start in left field and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Martin will cover left field for the fourth straight game and appears to have emerged as the Twins' preferred option at the position over James Outman. Since the start of September, Martin has slashed .385/.484/.462 with two doubles, a 5:4 BB:K and six runs.

Martin went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 11-8 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Martin has been in the lineup in three straight games. He's gone 10-for-24 (.417) with eight walks over his last nine contests. He should maintain a decent share of playing time in the outfield as long as he's getting on base at a steady rate. For the season, Martin is slashing .284/.383/.370 with one home run, six stolen bases, two RBI, 11 runs scored, two doubles and one triple over 95 plate appearances since his call-up at the start of August.

Martin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Martin had started in the final two games of the Twins' weekend series with the Royals but will head to the bench as Minnesota kicks off a three-game set in New York. With Byron Buxton (rib) making his return from the injured list Monday, Martin will no longer be in line for steady reps in center field, but he could factor into the mix for starts at either corner-outfield spot.

Martin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Alan Roden will enter the lineup in center field in place of Martin, who went 1-for-13 with a run scored and a stolen base while starting in each of the last three contests. Martin and Roden will likely share center field until Byron Buxton (rib) returns from the injured list, at which point the two may then vie for playing time at corner-outfield spot while Trevor Larnach or Matt Wallner see more opportunities at designated hitter.

Martin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Martin will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after going 3-for-5 during his season debut in Friday's loss. DaShawn Keirsey will fill in as the Twins' center fielder and bat ninth.

Martin batted leadoff and started in center field, going 3-for-5 in Friday's loss to the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Martin has a chance to earn everyday playing time in the outfield after the Twins traded several starters at the trade deadline. While he had an unimpressive .670 OPS in 93 games last year in the majors, he slashed .319/.431/.398 with two stolen bases and a 21:17 BB:K across 137 plate appearances with Triple-A St. Paul this season.

The Twins recalled Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Martin dealt with hamstring issues earlier in the season and has yet to play in the big leagues in 2025. Following the Twins' fire sale at the trade deadline, Martin will rejoin Minnesota, providing depth at second base and in the outfield. Martin slashed .319/.431/.398 with one home run, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 21:17 BB:K across 137 plate appearances with St. Paul.

Martin (hamstring) has been activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin has been limited to just 12 games this season due to a pair of hamstring strains, but he's been cleared to return to action. The utility player has played well when healthy, going 16-for-43 with St. Paul.
