Bats leadoff
Martinez hit atop the order and went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Toronto.
Análise
Martinez was originally slated to bat fifth and play left field, but he was moved to center field and batted leadoff when Steven Kwan (neck) was scratched from the lineup. Martinez's stock has risen dramatically early in 2026; he's slashing .282/.325/.526 with five home runs, 14 RBI, five steals and 12 runs over 25 games. Kwan is day-to-day.

Goes yard twice in win
Martinez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 8-6 win over the Blue Jays.
Análise
Playing in the ballpark that his father Sandy called home for the first three seasons of his own big-league career in the mid-90s, Martinez took future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer deep in the first and third innings for a pair of two-run shots. Martinez has seen his playing time decrease since George Valera came off the IL, but with three homers in his last two starts, the 24-year-old switch hitter is making a case to be a regular for the Guardians. On the season, Martinez is slashing .284/.329/.541 with five home runs, four steals, 12 runs and 14 RBI in 80 plate appearances.

Homers in win
Martinez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Astros.
Análise
Martinez lofted a home run in the second inning and later scored as part of the Guardians' six-run eighth inning. His playing time has taken a slight hit since George Valera was activated off the injured list, but Martinez's .275/.324/.788 slash line with three home runs and 10 RBI over 71 plate appearances (22 games) keeps him relevant.

Playing time trending down
Martinez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
Análise
While Martinez is still holding down a respectable .262 batting average for the season, it's fallen more than 50 points over the past week while he's gone just 2-for-18 at the dish during that time. The Guardians will likely continue to make room for Martinez in the lineup against left-handed pitching, but his playing time versus right-handers has been trending down of late. He'll head to the bench Monday for the third time in the Guardians' last five matchups with righties.
