Martinez (foot) took batting practice Saturday for the first time since landing on the injured list, MLB.com reports.
Martinez has reached an important milestone in his recovery process after shedding the walking boot for his fractured left foot last week. When Martinez was placed on the injured list June 16, he was given an estimated 4-to-6-week timeline for a return. While the four-week mark would put him on track to be ready to rejoin the Guardians coming out of the All-Star break, Martinez may need a little extra time beyond that to complete a rehab assignment before Cleveland activates him from the IL.
