Martini joined the A's on a minor-league contract Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Martini was designated for assignment by the Rockies and elected free agency Monday. He's landed a new opportunity and could eventually find his way to the big-league club as a depth option in the outfield.

Martini elected free agency Monday, per MiLB's transactions log.

EDGE Analysis

Martini lost his spot on the 40-man roster Friday. Rather than choosing to accept an assignment in the minor leagues, he's decided to test free agency after struggling through a 9-for-44 clip at the plate over 19 matchups with the Rockies in May.

The Rockies designated Martini for assignment Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Martini was a lineup regular against right-handed pitching through the first two months of the season, but he failed to take advantage of the playing time with a .225/.288/.294 slash line in 111 plate appearances. Sam Hilliard was selected to the major-league roster in a corresponding move.

Martini went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Wednesday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Martini continues to serve as Colorado's primary designated hitter against right-handed pitching, though he cedes occasional starts there when Hunter Goodman gets an off day from catching duties. Martini has maintained a decent .250 batting average, but he has only one home run with four RBI and nine runs scored across 97 plate appearances.

Martini isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Martini will step out of the starting nine Friday after going 6-for-21 with an RBI and a run scored in 10 games since the start of May. Hunter Goodman will fill in as Colorado's DH while Jacob Stallings starts behind the plate.

Martini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Martini started the first two games of the series and went 2-for-3 with a double in Saturday's contest, but he'll head to the bench for the finale. Hunter Goodman will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Jacob Stallings receives a start behind the plate.

Martini isn't in the lineup for the final game of Thursday's doubleheader against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Martini went 1-for-2 and scored a run before being lifted for a pinch hitter during a blowout loss in Game 1, and he'll stay put in the Rockies' dugout to begin Game 2. His absence will move Hunter Goodman into the DH spot while Jacob Stallings starts behind the plate and bats ninth.

Martini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Martini had started at designated hitter in each of the Rockies' last three games against right-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat Sunday while the Giants send righty Logan Webb to the bump. Hunter Goodman will get a day off from catching duties, but the Rockies will keep his bat in the lineup by using him at DH.

Martini is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

With southpaw Chris Sale on the mound for the series finale, the left-handed-hitting Martini will retreat to the bench. Martini owns a weak .599 OPS over 65 plate appearances on the season, and his lack of production has resulted in him falling into a part-time role of late, even against right-handed pitching.

Martini is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Martini was on the bench for three of the past four games. with all three absences coming while the Rockies went up against left-handed pitching. Right-hander Bryce Elder is on the mound for Atlanta on Monday, but Martini will still find himself out of the starting nine. Even though the recent demotion of Zac Veen to Triple-A Albuquerque has eased the logjam in the corner outfield, Martini still looks like he may have to settle for a part-time role while he's supplied a meager .606 OPS so far this season.
