Player Outlook
Julio Pablo Martinez had his best season in the minors last year, posting career-highs across the board on the way to a .963 OPS while stealing 41 bags at three stops, mostly for Triple-A Round Rock. In August, with the Rangers in a playoff hunt and looking for potentially impactful bats off the bench, the club promoted Martinez on the same day it designated Bubba Thompson for assignment. He made a splash early on, reaching base safely in 10 of his first 22 plate appearances, then went one for his final 21 at-bats before heading back to the minors. His ability to draw a walk (16.0 BB%), make noise on the bases and occasional pop (14 HRs in 77 games) makes him intriguing -- especially since he cut down on strikeouts in 2023. Travis Jankowski and Robbie Grossman left for free agency, opening a role as a fourth (or fifth) outfielder for Martinez, but there's no cracking the starting core of Evan Carter, Leody Taveras and Adolis Garica, left to right, and top prospect Wyatt Langford is a more big-league ready bat than Martinez already.

  • Braves' J.P. Martinez: Sent back to minors

    Rotowire
    Atlanta optioned Martinez to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. Even with Atlanta battling multiple injuries in its outfield, Martinez has hardly played, making just one start and receiving only 10 plate appearances during his three weeks in the majors. Forrest Wall was called up from Gwinnett to replace Martinez on the 26-man active roster.

  • Braves' J.P. Martinez: Making first start of season

    Rotowire
    Martinez is batting ninth and playing right field Friday against the Nationals. Martinez will make his first start since being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on May 27. Jarred Kelenic (wrist) is dealing with a minor injury and Ronald Acuna (knee) is out for the season, so Friday's start might not be a one-off for Martinez.

  • Braves' J.P. Martinez: Joins big-league roster

    Rotowire
    Atlanta recalled Martinez from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. Martinez will provide additional outfield depth with Ronald Acuna (knee) going down. The 28-year-old has slashed .265/.337/.394 with three homers and 14 stolen bases with Gwinnett this season. He can play all three outfield spots.

  • Braves' J.P. Martinez: Making noise at Triple-A

    Rotowire
    Martinez is slashing .340/.421/.580 through 13 games for Triple-A Gwinnett with two homers and seven steals in nine attempts. The 28-year-old has also shown improved command of the strike zone with a 5:8 BB:K. Martinez fell short in his bid for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he looks more than ready to step in should an injury hit the Atlanta outfield.

  • Rangers' J.P. Martinez: Sitting again Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Martinez is out of the lineup again Wednesday versus the Mets. Martinez got off to a hot start when the Rangers initially called him up from Triple-A Round Rock on Aug. 11, but he has tallied only one hit while striking out 10 times in his last 17 plate appearances. Travis Jankowski, Leody Taveras and Adolis Garcia will start across the outfield Wednesday as Mitch Garver serves as the DH.

  • Rangers' J.P. Martinez: Knocks first homer

    Rotowire
    Martinez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Twins. Martinez's second-inning homer, his first of the year, snapped an 0-for-10 skid across his last six contests. The 27-year-old continues to operate as a reserve outfielder for the Rangers. He's slashing .281/.306/.406 with four RBI, seven runs scored and no stolen bases through 36 plate appearances this season. Martinez's best path to playing time remains in left field, where he can compete with Robbie Grossman and Travis Jankowski, though he was covering for a resting Adolis Garcia in right field Sunday.

  • Rangers' J.P. Martinez: Logs two hits in loss

    Rotowire
    Martinez started in right field and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to San Francisco. The Rangers were stifled for 8.2 innings by Logan Webb before Martinez doubled and scored on Ezequiel Duran's infield single. Martinez had his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, when Travis Jankowski was placed on the paternity list, and went 4-for-11 with a walk and an RBI in three games. His MLB stint could be over once Jankowski returns.

  • Rangers' J.P. Martinez: Selected from Triple-A

    Rotowire
    Texas selected Martinez's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday. Martinez has put up an excellent .311/.435/.558 slash line with 12 homers and 36 steals over 72 games this summer in the Rangers' minor-league system, but the 27-year-old outfielder might only be up for a brief cup of coffee while Travis Jankowski is away on paternity leave.

  • Rangers' J.P. Martinez: Getting call to majors

    Rotowire
    Martinez will be called up to the Rangers ahead of Friday's series opener in San Francisco, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. A highly publicized international signee out of Cuba in the spring of 2018, Martinez has broken through this summer at Triple-A Round Rock to the tune of a .312/.427/.565 batting line with 12 homers and 33 steals in 67 games. He can play all three outfield spots and might be able to carve out a semi-regular role in Texas with Ezequiel Duran and Josh Smith having to cover for Josh Jung (thumb) at third base.

  • Rangers' Julio Pablo Martinez: Promoted to High-A

    Rotowire
    Martinez was promoted to High-A Down East about two weeks ago due to an injury to Bubba Thompson, but he has struggled so far in 15 games, hitting just .135/.217/.269 in 60 plate appearances, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports. Martinez is striking out a whopping 40.0 percent of the time at High-A and wasn't exactly tearing it up at Low-A Hickory, hitting .250/.295/.400 before getting moved up. It's an ominous sign to see a 23-year-old struggle so much against High-A pitching.
