Martini (knee) is expected to face live pitching within the next week or two, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martini resumed baseball activities about a week ago and has started a full run progression, but he's apparently not going to be ready to resume playing in games until May. Because he was shut down for all of spring training due to the sprained right knee, Martini will require several rehab games before the Athletics activate him from the 10-day injured list. The 28-year-old isn't certain to have a spot on the active roster waiting for him once he's reinstated.

Martini (knee) is performing all baseball activities according to manager Bob Melvin, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martini's regimen includes running the bases and hitting in the batting cage, implying that he could be nearing a rehab assignment. The 28-year-old originally suffered his knee sprain after colliding with the outfield wall in an early spring game against the Angels. He was placed on the injured list March 19, and it remains to be seen if there will be room for him in a crowded major-league outfield whenever he's ready for activation.

Martini (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Martini's initial timeline put his return at the end of March, so it's no real surprise the Athletics moved him to the injured list ahead of the season-opening series against the Mariners in Japan. The 28-year-old is recovering from a right knee sprain sustained in late February and it remains unclear if he is still on track with the original recovery timeline.

Martini (knee) will be sidelined for roughly a month from when the injury happened on Feb. 26, Julian McWilliams of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This timeline suggests Martini may be able to return in the final month of March, but even then, he won't have time to get ready for Opening Day. A host of players are competing for that open left field spot in the short term, but it will probably end up being a platoon of some sort until Martini is ready.

Martini (knee) is resuming cardio work, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martini suffered a hyperextended back and a knee sprain after crashing into the wall in last February. He has only two weeks to make it back for the Athletics' season opener against the Mariners in Japan on March 20. Making that date might be tough, though making it back for the start of the bulk of the regular season on March 28 against the Red Sox could be possible.

Martini has a right knee sprain and will be out for a couple of weeks, Julian McWilliams of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Athletics' have less than two weeks remaining for spring training games, as they travel to Japan to face the Mariners on March 20-21 for the regular season opener. It's unlikely Martini will be up to speed for that series, though he could potentially be ready to go when the bulk of the regular season begins in late March. Martini was reportedly battling both back and knee issues after crashing into the outfield wall Tuesday, but the knee injury seems to be the more concerning one at the moment.

Martini has a stiff back and knee and will undergo an MRI on Wednesday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martini suffered the injuries after colliding with the wall in Tuesday's game against the Angels. He's expected to miss at least a few days, which could become a longer absence depending on the results of the MRI.

Martini was diagnosed with a hyperextended back Tuesday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martini suffered the injury after tripping over his shoe while trying to make a play down the left-field line during Tuesday's game against the Angels. The outfielder went for X-rays, though the results aren't yet known; he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Martini was removed from Tuesday's game against the Angels after crashing into the outfield wall during the sixth inning, Julian McWilliams of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martini immediately went down and was tended to by trainers and manager Bob Melvin. He was ultimately able to walk off the field, giving way to Skye Bolt in left field. Martini should be considered day-to-day until he's further evaluated.

Martini is not starting Saturday against the Angels, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martini will head to the bench against Tyler Skaggs, as he typically does against lefties. Mark Canha starts in left field in his absence.
