EDGE Analysis

Atlanta pushed Martinez off its 40-man roster Monday in order to clear a spot for Eddie Rosario, and he'll officially remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old has slashed .241/.332/.357 with 15 RBI across 257 plate appearances with the Stripers.

Atlanta designated Martinez for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez is clearing out to make room on the 40-man roster for outfielder Eddie Rosario, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of Monday's game against Arizona. The 28-year-old Martinez has spent most of the season at Triple-A Gwinnett, where he produced a .695 OPS while stealing 20 bases across 257 plate appearances.

Atlanta is expected to designate Martinez for assignment Monday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta called Martinez up from Triple-A Gwinnett on May 27, but he logged just 10 plate appearances before heading back to the minors June 17. Despite Atlanta having been hit hard by injuries to outfielders, Martinez has been passed over for a call-up over the past few weeks, making it clear the 28-year-old didn't have much of a future in the organization.

Atlanta optioned Martinez to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Even with Atlanta battling multiple injuries in its outfield, Martinez has hardly played, making just one start and receiving only 10 plate appearances during his three weeks in the majors. Forrest Wall was called up from Gwinnett to replace Martinez on the 26-man active roster.

Martinez is batting ninth and playing right field Friday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez will make his first start of the campaign despite being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on May 27. With Jarred Kelenic (wrist) dealing with a minor injury and Ronald Acuna (knee) out for the season, Friday's start might not be a one-off for Martinez.

Atlanta recalled Martinez from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez will provide additional outfield depth with Ronald Acuna (knee) going down. The 28-year-old has slashed .265/.337/.394 with three homers and 14 stolen bases with Gwinnett this season. He can play all three outfield spots.

Martinez is slashing .340/.421/.580 through 13 games for Triple-A Gwinnett with two homers and seven steals in nine attempts.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old has also shown improved command of the strike zone with a 5:8 BB:K. Martinez fell short in his bid for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he looks more than ready to step in should an injury hit the Atlanta outfield.

Martinez was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

He had a chance to win a backup outfielder job, but that role now figures to fall to Forrest Wall. Martinez was acquired via trade from the Rangers over the offseason and will provide outfield depth at Gwinnett to start the season.

Atlanta acquired Martinez from the Rangers on Friday in exchange for Tyler Owens.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez, 27, got his feet wet in the majors last season, going 9-for-40 at the plate over 17 games. The outfielder sported an impressive .298/.418/.543 batting line with 14 home runs and 38 stolen bases in 2023 at Triple-A Round Rock. The left-handed hitting Martinez is capable of handling all three outfield spots and will compete for a reserve role in Atlanta.

Martinez was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez started seven of the Rangers' first nine games after he earned his first career call-up in mid-August, but he's since started just two of the last 16 games and none of the last nine. His .225/.250/.325 slash line in 44 plate appearances overall didn't make a great case for more playing time, nor did his 2:16 BB:K. Infielder Jonathan Ornelas was recalled to take his place on the roster.
