Leads off with bang
Martinez batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees.
Analyse
Martinez got it started in the first inning, hammering the second pitch he saw for his 11th home run of the season and second during the three-game set against New York. Those 11 homers (in 64 games) tie Martinez's career high, which he set last season across 139 games. The streaky hitter has hit in four consecutive games, going 6-for-18 with two home runs and four RBI.

Reaches 10 homers
Martinez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in an extra-inning loss to the Yankees on Monday.
Analyse
Martinez gave Cleveland its first and only lead in the sixth inning with a two-run, 414-foot homer off Paul Blackburn. The long ball snapped a 17-game homer drought for the 24-year-old, who batted a meager .156 during that span. Despite that recent slump and an aversion to taking walks (he has just seven through 228 plate appearances), Martinez has managed to carve out some fantasy value thanks to his 10 homers and nine stolen bases on the campaign.

Not starting Friday
Martinez is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.
Analyse
With Martinez getting the night off from the starting nine, Daniel Schneemann is making the start in center field, and Kyle Manzardo is at designated hitter with Rhys Hoskins manning first base. Over his last 13 games, Martinez is hitting just .140 with a .360 OPS across 51 plate appearances.
