Twins' Austin Martin: Summoned to big leagues
The Twins recalled Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Martin is absorbing the roster spot of the injured Matt Wallner (oblique). Martin, Manuel Margot and Jose Miranda are options to see more playing time with Wallner shelved.

Twins' Austin Martin: Moves back to Triple-A
The Twins optioned Martin to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Martin has seen his playing time decrease recently, sitting out five of Minnesota's last eight games, and he'll now be pushed off the active roster to make room for Byron Buxton's (hip) impending return from the injured list. Martin has slashed .252/.321/.349 with 16 RBI across 242 plate appearances in the majors this season and could return to the Twins if their outfield depth is tested in the final weeks of the season.

Twins' Austin Martin: Sitting in second straight game
Martin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
Dating back to the beginning of August, Martin had been handling a near-everyday role for the Twins, first as an option at second base before more recently seeing the bulk of the starts in center field in place of the injured Byron Buxton (hip). Though Buxton remains on the injured list, Brooks Lee's (bicep) return from the IL could result in Martin being the odd man out of the everyday lineup. Martin will hit the bench for the second day in a row while utility man Willi Castro checks in as the starting center fielder. The Twins could elect to stick with Lee and Edouard Julien as its main starters in the middle infield, while Castro sees the bulk of the action in center until Buxton returns.

Twins' Austin Martin: Heading to bench Sunday
Martin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Though Kyle Farmer will get the nod at the keystone Sunday, Martin's path to an everyday role in the infield has opened up with Brooks Lee (bicep) recently joining Carlos Correa (heel) on the injured list. Martin had been included in the lineup in seven of the previous eight games, going 5-for-20 with a triple, three walks and three runs during that stretch.

Twins' Austin Martin: Getting fifth start in six games
Martin will start at second base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Martin will crack the Minnesota lineup for the fifth time in six games, with three starts coming in left field and the other two coming at the keystone. The Twins should continue to open up regular playing time for the right-handed-hitting Martin against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities to start against right-handers may be more sporadic.

Twins' Austin Martin: Activated from 10-day IL
Martin (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
Martin will return to the big-league roster after a minimum stay on the IL with a strained right oblique. Prior to getting hurt, the outfielder had seen his playing time dwindle greatly and it's unclear if he has a path to more consistent usage moving forward.

Twins' Austin Martin: Out with oblique strain
The Twins placed Martin on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a strained right oblique.
It's unclear when the 25-year-old suffered the oblique strain, but he hasn't played much in July with just six plate appearances through the first week of the month. Martin will be eligible to return for the start of the second half July 20. Matt Wallner was called up from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move to provide Minnesota with some outfield depth.

Twins' Austin Martin: Playing time drying up
Martin is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Martin had previously made starts in five consecutive games at three different positions from June 16 through June 21, but his playing time has since trended downward while the Twins have had all regular members of their lineup available. He'll be on the bench for the fourth time in five contests and will likely see limited opportunities moving forward, unless an injury opens up a path to a starting role.

Twins' Austin Martin: Garnering third straight start
Martin will start in left field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Martin will be awarded a third consecutive start after he reached base five times (four hits, one walk) while scoring twice, driving in a run and chipping in a stolen base between the Twins' previous two contests. The 25-year-old still looks to be a part-time player for Minnesota, though he should have a regular path to making starts against left-handed pitching.

Twins' Austin Martin: Back with big club
The Twins recalled Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
He's switching spots with Alex Kirilloff, who has been optioned to St. Paul. Martin has slashed just .224/.289/.355 across 30 games at the big-league level this season. He could see some action versus lefties, but the 25-year-old's playing time is unlikely to be steady.

Twins' Austin Martin: Optioned to St. Paul
The Twins optioned Martin to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.
With Byron Buxton (knee) returning from the injured list, Martin will be pushed back to Triple-A. During his latest stint in the majors, the 25-year-old utility player went 3-for-14 with two stolen bases and three runs scored in eight games.

Twins' Austin Martin: On bench in second straight
Martin is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.
After recently picking up four starts in a five-game stretch, Martin finds himself on the bench for the second straight day. While he's up with the big club, the right-handed-hitting Martin should play regularly versus left-handed pitching, but the trio of Alex Kirilloff, Willi Castro and Max Kepler looks to be the Twins' preferred outfield alignment against right-handers. The outfield will become even more crowded when Byron Buxton (knee) returns from the 10-day injured list, perhaps as soon as this weekend.

Twins' Austin Martin: Back in big leagues
The Twins recalled Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
The 25-year-old was sent to St. Paul on Monday but will quickly rejoin the Twins as Byron Buxton (knee) landed on the injured list. Martin, Manuel Margot and Willi Castro could all see action in center field while Buxton is unavailable.

Twins' Austin Martin: Sent to Triple-A
The Twins optioned Martin to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.
As anticipated, Martin will forfeit his spot on the 26-man active roster with the Twins reinstating Carlos Correa (intercostal) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Martin's demotion should clear the way for Trevor Larnach to man left field on an everyday basis, at least against right-handed pitching.
