DETROIT, MI (WTVB) – Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will have his sore knee re evaluated today after he was held out of the starting lineup in yesterday’s series opener against the White Sox in Chicago. Manager Brad Ausmus said an MRI did not reveal any damage, but the DH has bruising which is causing pain.
Ausmus also said the issue has been bothering Martinez for a couple of weeks, but if he can get treatment he shouldn’t miss a significant amount of time. The knee flares up when Martinez runs the bases, but he was used as a pinch hitter last night.
