Grapefruit League debut on tap Martin (hand) will play second base during Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Martin appeared in a "B" game Friday and will advance to Grapefruit League action Sunday. The 26-year-old has been brought along slowly after he underwent hand surgery during the offseason, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the Orioles to begin the regular season.

Plays on back field Martin (hand) played in a B game Friday but could make his Grapefruit League debut this weekend, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Impact Martin continues to ramp up slowly as he makes his way back from offseason hand surgery. There was some thought that he'd play in a Grapefruit League game Friday, but he's apparently at least a day or two behind that schedule.

Could play Friday Martin (hand) could play Friday against Pittsburgh, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Martin has been brought along cautiously as he makes his way back from offseason hand surgery. His Grapefruit League debut has been pushed back multiple times already, as it was originally thought to be coming Sunday or Monday before being pushed to Tuesday and then again to Friday. The delays appear to be due to the Orioles being cautious rather than any specific setback, but he's running out of time to push for a spot on the Opening Day roster.

Won't play Tuesday Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Martin (hand) won't be available for Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact After being brought along slowly in the first few weeks of camp while he worked back from offseason surgery on his left hand, Martin had been expected to play shortstop Tuesday, but Hyde said the 26-year-old will instead get another day to heal up. Since Martin played a simulated game Tuesday, the Orioles may just want him to pick up a full day of rest before joining the spring lineup.

Spring debut coming Tuesday Orioles manager Brandon Hyde confirmed that Martin (hand) will make his Grapefruit League debut Tuesday against the Rays, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Impact Baltimore had previously been targeting Sunday or Monday for Martin's spring debut, but the coaching staff instead had the infielder take part in one more simulated game as a final test of his health. Martin appears to have emerged from the sim game free of any setbacks to his surgically-repaired left hand, so he'll now get the chance to make a late push for a utility role with the big club.

Nearly ready to play Martin (hand) could play Sunday or Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Martin is slowly getting up to speed following surgery in January on his left hamate bone. The Orioles believe it's still possible for him to be up to speed by Opening Day, but there's no guarantee he spends that day on the active roster even if healthy.

Could play next week Martin (hand) has been taking batting practice and could get into game action next week, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Martin is working his way back from January hamate bone surgery. That followed July wrist surgery, a procedure which cost him the entirety of the 2020 season. Even if he's up to speed by Opening Day, he may not make the active roster, as he didn't look major-league ready as a Rule 5 pick in 2019, hitting just .208/.260/.322.

Not yet hitting Martine (hand) has begun rehab work but won't hit for another week or two, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Martin's start to camp has been delayed by a broken hamate bone, which required surgery in January. The surgery was his second in just over six months, as he also underwent surgery to repair a broken wrist in July. The wrist procedure wiped out the entirety of his 2020 season, while the hamate procedure could prevent him from being ready for Opening Day. He may need some time in the minors once healthy, as he hit just .208/.260/.322 over 120 games as a Rule 5 pick in 2019.

Slated for surgery Martin (wrist) will undergo surgery to repair a broken hamate bone in his left hand, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Martin missed the 2020 campaign after undergoing surgery on his right wrist, and he'll face a recovery timeline of approximately five weeks once he has surgery on his hand. The middle infielder could get a late start to spring training, but general manager Mike Elias said that he could return to the field in early March.
