Martin signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Martin posted a .938 OPS with 32 homers at Triple-A Oklahoma City in the Dodgers organization in 2022 before spending 2023 playing in Korea. The 28-year-old outfielder has a career .588 OPS over parts of three major-league seasons, with his last action in the big leagues coming in 2021 with the Rangers. Martin will compete for a reserve outfielder role but will probably wind up at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Martin signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin spent 2021 with the Rangers and appeared in 58 big-league games and hit .208/.248/.354 with six homers, 17 RBI and 14 runs. He had more luck at Triple-A with a .931 OPS in 39 contests.

Martin elected free agency after he cleared outright waivers Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Martin was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock in mid-September, and he'll now become a free agent heading into the offseason. The 26-year-old appeared in 58 major-league games this year and slashed .208/.248/.354 with six home runs, 17 RBI, 14 runs and three stolen bases.

Martin was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Martin lost out on playing time recently and was in the lineup for just one of the last six games. The 26-year-old was recalled in late July and hit .240 with five homers, three doubles, 13 RBI, 12 runs and a stolen base across 32 games. He should see more consistent at-bats in the minors, while his demotion will help make room for Willie Calhoun (forearm), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

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

EDGE Analysis

Martin started in left field in each of the past three games, going 3-for-12 with two RBI over that stretch. The lefty-hitting Martin will take a seat Wednesday against a right-hander (Anthony DeSclafani), leaving DJ Peters, Leodys Taveras and Adolis Garcia to fill out the outfield from left to right. The Rangers seem committed to giving Taveras and Peters long looks in everyday roles down the stretch, so Martin may have to settle for fourth-outfielder duties in September.

Martin went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Martin's two-run, two-out single in the fourth inning was the winning hit and finished off the scoring for the Rangers. His overall slash line isn't much to look at -- .200/.242/.343 -- and he has just 17 RBI in 54 games, but Martin's hit with regularity the last two-plus weeks. The 26-year-old outfielder is 13-for-43 (.302) with an .807 OPS, three home runs and 11 RBI over the last 12 games.

Martin went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Martin slammed a two-run homer off Shohei Ohtani in the second inning to tie the game. In addition, he added a single in the seventh frame. The 25-year-old is slashing .195/.241/.352 with six long balls, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored in 138 plate appearances this season. He is in a platoon and starts only against right-handed pitchers.

Martin isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Martin will retreat to the bench for a second straight game since left-hander Kyle Freeland is starting for Colorado. DJ Peters will start in left field while Leody Taveras takes over in center.

Martin is not starting Tuesday against the Rockies and left-hander Austin Gomber.

EDGE Analysis

Martin takes a seat after going 0-for-3 in Monday's series opener. DJ Peters shifts to left field while Leody Taveras draws the start in center field Tuesday.

Martin will sit Saturday against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Martin has recorded a pair of hits in each of his last three games, but he'll hit the bench nonetheless Saturday against the left-handed Framber Valdez. DJ Peters starts in left field in his absence.
