Martinez indicated that he's encouraged that he's been able to put weight on his sprained right foot, but fears he may not be ready for Opening Day, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez suffered the injury after making a catch in Saturday's Grapefruit League game, but the Tigers have remained tight lipped on the severity of the setback. An official timetable for Martinez's return should be available Friday, when he's set to undergo a weight-bearing stress CT scan in Charlotte. If the Tigers determine that Martinez will require a DL stint to begin the season, Steven Moya could be tasked with serving as his primary replacement in right field.

Martinez (foot) will undergo a stress CT scan in Charlotte on Friday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez suffered a mid-foot sprain while making a catch in the outfield on Saturday, and while the X-rays came back negative, the Tigers are sending him for a second opinion on Friday. Manager Brad Ausmus remains optimistic that the outfielder avoided a worst-case injury, but more won't be known until the new test results are disclosed. If the 29-year-old is forced to start the beginning of the season on the DL, look for a combination of Mikie Mahtook, JaCoby Jones and Steven Moya to make starts in his place.

The Tigers received MRI results on Martinez's sprained right foot, but won't disclose the details until the outfielder receives a second opinion from a specialist, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez first suffered the mid-foot sprain while making a catch in the outfield during Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins. While X-rays on the foot have already come back negative, the Tigers aren't likely to issue an update on a potential return date until the results of the MRI are announced. With Opening Day still a little over two weeks away, Martinez will still have some time to heal up before the season begins, but if he's forced to hit the DL, some combination of Steven Moya, Mikie Mahtook and JaCoby Jones would likely make starts in his stead.

Martinez (foot) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Sunday, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez was an early exit from Saturday's exhibition matchup after he appeared to suffer a leg injury while playing the field, which was later classified as a right foot sprain. The Tigers aren't taking any chances with the 29-year-old outfielder, who has tallied 83 homer runs over the last three seasons. Look for more information to follow once the results come in, but don't expect Martinez to return to a regular workload for at least a few days.

Martinez has been diagnosed with a mid right foot sprain and is set to be reevaluated Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

X-rays came back negative on Martinez's foot, but there won't be an offical timetable for his return until team doctors re-examine him later in the weekend. Martinez exited Saturday's game after making a running catch and was seen favoring his right leg on his way into the dugout. Tyler Collins and Steven Moya stand to see more playing time in right field while Martinez is sidelined.

Martinez exited Saturday's game with an apparent leg injury, MLB.com's Jason Beck reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez appeared to injury his leg making a play in the field in the first inning of Saturday's contest. According to Beck, Martinez charged for a fly ball and hobbled to the dugout after making the catch. Alex Presley has come on to replace Martinez in the lineup. More information on Martinez's status should be available later in Saturday's game.

Martinez is focused on improving his defense in 2017 after a down year in the field last season, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While defense doesn't immediately impact Martinez's fantasy value, it could affect his value in free agency next offseason. His defensive metrics all went down in 2016, but if he looks good in the field and at the plate in 2017, he could be in for a significant payday. Confidence also counts for something, so if Martinez is excelling in the field, it could carry over to his at-bats.

Martinez (pectoral) will man right field and bat in the cleanup spot in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez was only sidelined a couple of days with pectoral tightness, and his reentry into the lineup indicates he's fully recovered from the issue. Even though an injury-plagued 2016 season dinged his final numbers, Martinez still profiles as one of the game's top power bats. His .908 OPS last season was actually superior to what he provided in 2015, when he smacked a career-high 38 homers.

Martinez was scratched from Saturday's Grapefruit League game with pectoral tightness, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move is likely precautionary from a management standpoint. Martinez is expected to once again be a big part of the Tigers' offense, so they won't risk any health issues in spring training. Juan Perez will take over in right field. Consider Martinez day-to-day unless something changes.

Martinez is a candidate to bat second this season, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez batted second some last season, but he got most of his at-bats in the No. 5 hole. If he bats second, his RBI potential goes down, but he could score more runs in front of guys like Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Justin Upton and Nick Castellanos.
