Guardians' Angel Martinez: Hitting bench in Kwan's return
Martinez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Martinez will head to the bench after he started and served as the leadoff hitter in each of the Guardians' last 10 games while slashing .225/.279/.250 with one extra-base hit (a double) and one stolen base. He'll lose out on leadoff opportunities with Steven Kwan (back) setting the table in his return from the injured list, but Martinez may still find his way into the lineup on a semi-regular basis due to his ability to play all over the infield and outfield.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Filling in for injured Kwan
Martinez will start in left field and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Twins.
For the fifth game in a row, Martinez will set the table for the Guardians after providing seven hits and two walks in 16 plate appearances over the past four contests. Martinez looks poised to handle an everyday role atop the batting order for Cleveland after Steven Kwan (back) was placed on the injured list Tuesday.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Adds three hits in win
Martinez went 3-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Monday's 4-3 win over the Twins.
This was Martinez's second multi-hit effort in a row. He continues to fill in at leadoff and in left field with Steven Kwan (back/body fatigue) being held out again Monday. Martinez is slashing .258/.331/.392 with three home runs, three stolen bases, 10 RBI, 14 runs scored and seven doubles over 34 contests. He'll have streaming appeal as long as he can stick in Cleveland's lineup.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Swipes bag from leadoff spot
Martinez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Rays.
Martinez was hitless in his return to the majors Saturday, but he followed it up with a better game Sunday. He's had the opportunity to fill in for Steven Kwan (body fatigue) this weekend, though Martinez could later push Will Brennan and Jhonkensy Noel for a piece of right field once Kwan is able to return to the lineup. Martinez has a .241/.318/.371 slash line with three home runs, three steals, nine RBI and 14 runs scored over 133 plate appearances in the majors this year, though his .274/.356/.456 slash line over 55 games with Triple-A Columbus displays some of his contact-oriented upside.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Promoted, leading off
Martinez was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
Martinez has 125 plate appearances in the majors this season but has been with Columbus since Aug. 9. He'll immediately appear in the lineup, as he is set to lead off and play left field Saturday against the Rays with Steven Kwan (body fatigue) still sidelined. Martinez has maintained a .236 average with three home runs and two steals on the campaign.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Sent to Triple-A
The Guardians optioned Martinez to Triple-A Columbus on Friday.
The 22-year-old had operated as Cleveland's primary center fielder, but he'll head back to the minors after posting a .236/.306/.373 slash line in 31 games. Will Brennan was recalled in a corresponding move, but it'll likely be a combination of Lane Thomas and Tyler Freeman that take over in center field.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Sitting against righty again
Martinez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Arizona.
Martinez will hit the bench for the third time in five games, including for a second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Zac Gallen). Since the All-Star break, Martinez has gone 12-for-56 (.214 average) with four RBI and five runs scored, and his downturn in productivity looks as though it could cost him his regular spot in the lineup. Tyler Freeman will replace Martinez in center field for the second day in a row.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Slugs homer in victory
Martinez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Orioles in a loss Saturday.
Martinez got the scoring started in the contest with a two-run shot to right field in the third inning, but Baltimore dominated the rest of the way. The long ball snapped a 14-game homerless stretch for Martinez, who knocked in just two runs during that span. He's batting just .204 in 54 at-bats since the All-Star break.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Out of Sunday's lineup
Martinez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Martinez will sit for Sunday's series finale after going 2-for-7 with a walk and a home run while starting in the first two contests against Baltimore. Tyler Freeman will start in center field and bat seventh in Martinez's stead.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Exiting starting nine Thursday
Martinez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.
He'll head to the bench for the first time since his July 4 call-up from Triple-A Columbus, ending a stretch of 23 straight starts in which he's slashed .230/.306/.368 with two home runs and two stolen bases. Martinez has largely served as the Guardians' primary center fielder and No. 2 hitter during that stretch, but he was dropped to fifth in the lineup in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Tigers. With Martinez having now gone 4-for-25 with seven strikeouts over his last six starts, it's possible that he could slip further down the batting order if he's unable to right the ship soon.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Two hits, stolen base in win
Martinez went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.
Martinez reached on an infield single in the first inning, then stole second base and came around to score on a David Fry single. Martinez would later drive in a run of his own during the fourth frame, giving him six RBI in his first 21 career games. After not stealing a bag in his first 18 contests, he now has a steal in two of his last three games. Martinez has hit second for the Guardians in 19 straight games and is batting .254 with a .750 OPS over that stretch.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Notches first career steal
Martinez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Tigers.
The steal was Martinez's first in the majors, coming in his 19th game. Speed has been just a modest part of his game -- he posted between 11 and 13 thefts in each of his three full campaigns in the minors, and he had two steals over 26 games with Triple-A Columbus before his promotion to Cleveland this year. The 22-year-old has a .261/.350/.420 slash line with two home runs, five RBI, eight runs scored and five doubles over 81 plate appearances in the majors, which has been enough for him to earn steady playing time in the Guardians' outfield.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Clubs second homer
Martinez went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Rays.
Martinez tied the game at 1-1 in the fifth inning with his second homer in the last five games. The 22-year-old prospect has filled a versatile role, but most of his playing time has been in center field, which has led to a smaller role for Tyler Freeman. Martinez is batting .256 with two homers, four RBI, six runs scored, three doubles and no stolen bases over 12 contests.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Smacks first career homer
Martinez went 1-for-6 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-8 extra-inning win over the Tigers.
Martinez lifted a Kenta Maeda splitter in the top of the first inning for his first home run in his eighth career start. At 22 years old, Martinez became the youngest Guardians player with a home run since Francisco Lindor in April 2016. Martinez has only struck out twice over his first 35 plate appearances while drawing eight walks and showing versatile defense with a start in four different spots in the diamond.
