Batting third in the lineup, Martinez went 1-for-3 with a run and a walk in Wednesday's win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez was originally slated to hit sixth, but when Miguel Cabrera was scratched due to an oblique injury, Martinez was bumped up. The 29-year-old could stick in the spot while Cabrera is out for at least the next two to three days.

Martinez went 2-for-3 with two home runs, five RBI and four walks in Tuesday's 13-inning loss to the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

This was Martinez's second two-homer game in the four games that he's been active this season. He's showing no issues from the foot injury that kept him out, and Martinez should be a very strong fantasy asset the rest of the way.

Martinez went 3-for-4 with three RBI from a go-ahead solo home run and a two-run shot in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The slugging outfielder made his presence felt in only his second game of the season, snapping a 3-3 tie in the top of the ninth with a 381-foot solo shot that would prove to be the game-winner. Martinez had taken Angels starter Ricky Nolasco deep with Victor Martinez aboard in the second as well for his first round-tripper of the season. The 29-year-old's bat has been missed as he recovered from a foot injury over the first several weeks of the season, but if Saturday's effort is any indication, he appears ready to contribute his customary level of production.

Martinez is batting sixth and playing right field in his season debut Friday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

After rehabbing a foot injury for the first month and a half of the season, Martinez will finally take back over in right field for Detroit. He went just 4-for-23 during his rehab assignment, but he did hit a home run in his final tuneup Thursday. He'll hit sixth for the time being, but he could move up in the order if Justin Upton starts to struggle.

Martinez (foot) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

As relayed earlier today, Martinez's rehab at Triple-A Toledo was deemed sufficient due to Jim Adduci's impending DL placement due to a strained oblique. Fantasy owners should follow suit and click JDM back into their lineups.

Martinez (foot) will make his season debut with the Tigers on Friday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

His rehab timetable was cut short with the placement of Jim Aducci (strained right oblique) on the 10-day disabled list. Martinez went 1-for-14 with Triple-A Toledo, but the one hit was a home run Thursday. Fantasy players should throw him back in their lineups as soon as possible.

Martinez (foot) is "50/50" to rejoin the Tigers sometime during the coming weekend, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder is serving as designated hitter for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, and despite his 0-for-11 stretch with the Mud Hens so far, his workload is considered a sign that he's ready to resurface for his fantasy players. Those in daily transaction fantasy leagues -- or those allowed to make changes Friday -- should prepare to slide him into their lineups.

Martinez (foot) is starting at designated hitter for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez is 0-for-11 on his rehab assignment with the Mud Hens, but he homered for High-A Lakeland on Saturday. The masher's progress makes him likely to return to the majors within the next week. Fantasy players in shallow leagues should check if he's available.

Martinez (foot) will move his rehab assignment to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive Media Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez had just started picking up reps in the outfield, and is now ready to step up the level of competition after homering for High-A Lakeland on Saturday. According to manager Brad Ausmus, there's a chance Martinez could be activated at some point during the upcoming four-game weekend series against the Angels. How he responds to Triple-A pitching will likely be a determining factor in his eventual return date.

Martinez (foot) played seven innings in right field and went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's game with High-A Lakeland, Evan Woodbery of MLive reports.

EDGE Analysis

Picking up playing time in the outfield was one of the final hurdles for Martinez, and it seems like everything went off without a hitch Saturday. The Tigers may opt to have their slugging right fielder play a couple more rehab games in the outfield just to get more exposure prior to a return to the big leagues, but a full return appears to be on the horizon. Detroit's plans on this front should become clearer in the coming days.
