Martini is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Martini was in line to get just his second day off of the month Tuesday before being added to the lineup in place of an injured Wil Myers. However, it turns out that absence will come Wednesday instead, as Myers is ready to rejoin the starting nine. Martini piled up 15 hits over his first 12 games of the month, but he seems due for a break after going 0-for-10 over the last three days.

Martini went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Martini singled three times to extend his hitting streak to eight games. Over that span, he has batted .382 (13-for-34) while taking over as San Diego's primary left fielder. The 29-year-old has never hit for much power, but he did show an affinity for swinging the bat in the minors this season, posting a .328 average in 70 games with Triple-A Las Vegas.

Martini will start in left field and bat second Sunday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Martini has drawn seven of the Padres' last eight starts in left field and looks like he'll continue garnering regular playing time against right-handed pitching in September. He's gone 9-for-25 with two runs and an RBI since being scooped up off waivers from the Athletics.

Martini went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in a victory over the Giants on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Martini started in left field and batted second in the order in his first start since being picked up off waivers by San Diego on Wednesday. The 26-year-old entered the game with only one hit in 12 at-bats in the majors this season, though he did slash .328/.432/.482 in 70 games at the Triple-A level. Martini figures to be in line for additional opportunities against right-handed pitchers in September as the Padres seek to evaluate their roster for next season.

Martini was claimed off waivers by the Padres on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Martini spent most of the season with Triple-A Las Vegas, slashing .328/.432/.482 in 70 games, before being designated for assignment by Oakland. The 29-year-old owns a respectable .282/.385/.411 slash line across 192 major-league plate appearances (61 games), so he could see some opportunities for the Padres down the stretch. He's slated to join San Diego ahead of Thursday's series opener in San Francisco.

Martini was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Martini played an important role for the A's down the stretch last season, slashing .296/.397/.414 across 55 games (37 starts), though he's appeared in just six games for Oakland this season, going 1-for-11 with a home run and 2:5 BB:K. The 29-year-old owns a solid .328/.432/.482 slash line across 70 games with Triple-A Las Vegas and could draw some interest on waivers given his recent big-league success. Seth Brown had his contract selected from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Martini was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Martini's first major-league action of 2019 was highlighted by a pinch-hit home run against the Cubs, but he failed to produce much outside of that, going 1-for-11 with five strikeouts. The 29-year-old will return to the Triple-A level, where he carries an on-base percentage of .435 with 36 RBI this season. The Athletics selected the contract of Corban Joseph, while Beau Taylor was designated for assignment in corresponding moves.

Martini entered Monday's loss to the Cubs as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and hit a two-run home run in his only at-bat.
EDGE Analysis
Martini came through in the clutch with a 376-foot shot to right center, slicing a 6-2 deficit in half for the Athletics. The round tripper represented Martini's first hit since his latest promotion July 31. It was only Martini's sixth time leaving the yard all season, as he'd only hit five homers with Triple-A Las Vegas over 60 games despite slashing an outstanding .332/.435/.460.
