Placed on 60-day IL Martinez (knee) was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Martinez underwent knee surgery in March that is expected to keep him sidelined for at least four months, and his move to the 60-day injured list will open up a spot on the 40-man roster. It's not clear whether Martinez will have a role with the major-league club once he returns to full health.

Undergoes knee surgery Martinez underwent surgery to address the torn meniscus in his left knee Friday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
Impact The surgery was reportedly successful. Martinez is expected to miss four months while recovering, which will keep him out until the second half of the season. He doesn't have a major-league deal and didn't appear to have a path to anything more than a bench role prior to his injury.

Out four months with torn meniscus Martinez was diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his left knee Monday and will undergo surgery and miss approximately four months, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Martinez suffered the injury while diving for a groundball Sunday against the Marlins. He was merely in camp as a non-roster invitee, but the injury now means he won't be appearing for the Mets until the second half of the season if he appears at all. He was unlikely to serve as much more than a bench bat, so the injury shouldn't shake up the Mets' depth chart.

Sent in for tests on knee Mets manager Luis Rojas said Monday that Martinez underwent tests on his injured left knee, but the team doesn't have an update on the status, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record r...
Impact Rojas said that Martinez is dealing with some stiffness in his left knee, an injury he picked up while lunging at a ground ball during Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins. The Mets are viewing Martinez as day-to-day until the results of his follow-up tests become available.

Dealing with knee injury Martinez suffered a knee injury during Sunday's spring game against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 32-year-old sustained the injury while lunging for a groundball down the line, and manager Luis Rojas called the injury a "twisted left knee." Martinez could undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury, which could complicate his path to an Opening Day roster spot.

Non-tendered by Cubs Martinez was non-tendered by the Cubs on Wednesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Martinez was traded from the Rays to the Cubs in 2020, but he struggled mightily in Chicago. He went 0-for-21 with one walk while appearing in 10 games and was unable to solidify himself as the designated hitter. The 32-year-old will now become a free agent following his disappointing campaign.

Optioned again Martinez was optioned by the Cubs on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact Martinez doesn't have a single hit in 21 plate appearances as a Cub. With just three days remaining in the regular season, it appears as though he'll end the season hitless for his new team. Patrick Wisdom was called up in a corresponding move.
SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Sent to secondary site Martinez was optioned to the Cubs' alternate training site Tuesday.
Impact Martinez had accomplished very little since joining the Cubs at the deadline, going 0-for-14 at the plate for his new team. He's hitting just .198/.286/.321 on the season. Billy Hamilton was called up in a corresponding move.

Sitting again Monday Martinez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Since making his Cubs debut Sept. 1, Martinez has started in only three of the Cubs' eight games. Martinez should occupy a regular spot in the lineup versus left-handed pitching, but Cubs manager David Ross may prefer to rotate a number of other players in at designated hitter when the team faces right-handed starters.
SEPTEMBER 7, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting for afternoon game Martinez will be on the bench for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.
Impact Martinez has yet to record a hit in his first 10 at-bats since joining the Cubs at the deadline. Kyle Schwarber will be the designated hitter in the first game of the day, though Martinez could return for the nightcap.
SEPTEMBER 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Acquired by Cubs Martinez was traded from the Rays to the Cubs on Sunday in exchange for two players to be named later or cash considerations, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The Cubs have been rotating Willson Contreras and Victor Caratini between catcher and designated hitter so far this season, but Martinez figures to be the primary option at designated hitter going forward, especially against lefties. Martinez got off to a strong start this season with an .850 OPS through his first 12 games, but he finished his time with the Rays going 5-for-26.

On base thrice in win Martinez went 2-for-3 with a walk in an extra-inning win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.
Impact Martinez still hasn't quite hit his stride at the plate this season, as Saturday's multi-hit effort was his first since Aug. 1 and fourth of the campaign. The veteran has only one extra-base hit, a double, in his last nine contests as well, but his nine walks have helped him to a solid .338 on-base percentage.
