Martini elected free agency Friday. He was removed from the Reds' 40-man roster and will test out free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. Martini slashed .212/.272/.370 over 52 games with Cincinnati this season.

The Reds activated Martini (thumb) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to their Arizona Complex League affiliate Wednesday. Martini is recovered from his thumb surgery, but the Reds have decided they didn't have a spot for him on their active roster right now. The 34-year-old has slashed .212/.272/.370 over 52 games with Cincinnati this season.

Martini (thumb) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Saturday. Martini had originally been targeting Tuesday as the start date for his assignment, so it's possible the 34-year-old is ahead of schedule in his recovery. It's unclear how many games he will play in the minors, though there's still a good chance he rejoins the Reds before the end of the season.

The Reds transferred Martini (thumb) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday. Martini underwent thumb surgery earlier in the week, and Reds manager David Bell said at the time that the 34-year-old would be out until at least September. His move to the 60-day IL confirms as much, as Martini isn't eligible to be activated until Sept. 6. The move also frees up a spot on Cincinnati's 40-man roster for right-hander Tony Santillan, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Louisville.

Reds manager David Bell said Wednesday that Martini will likely be out until September after undergoing surgery to repair ligament damage in his left thumb, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Martini landed on the 10-day injured list over the weekend with the injury and has opted to have it surgically repaired. He's expected to come off the IL before the end of the season, but a precise target date for his return won't become clear until he's able to begin a minor-league rehab assignment.
