• Angels' Jason Martin: Nets NRI from Halos

  02/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Martin signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training. Martin posted a .938 OPS with 32 homers at Triple-A Oklahoma City in the Dodgers organization in 2022 before spending 2023 playing in Korea. The 28-year-old outfielder has a career .588 OPS over parts of three major-league seasons, with his last action in the big leagues coming in 2021 with the Rangers. Martin will compete for a reserve outfielder role but will probably wind up at Triple-A Salt Lake.

• Rangers' Jason Martin: Optioned to minors

  09/15/2021 • By RotoWire

  Martin was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday. Martin lost out on playing time recently and was in the lineup for just one of the last six games. The 26-year-old was recalled in late July and hit .240 with five homers, three doubles, 13 RBI, 12 runs and a stolen base across 32 games. He should see more consistent at-bats in the minors, while his demotion will help make room for Willie Calhoun (forearm), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

• Rangers' Jason Martin: Back on bench

  09/08/2021 • By RotoWire

  Martin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks. Martin started in left field in each of the past three games, going 3-for-12 with two RBI over that stretch. The lefty-hitting Martin will take a seat Wednesday against a right-hander (Anthony DeSclafani), leaving DJ Peters, Leody Taveras and Adolis Garcia to fill out the outfield from left to right. The Rangers seem committed to giving Taveras and Peters long looks in everyday roles down the stretch, so Martin may have to settle for fourth-outfielder duties in September.
