Martin was traded to the Indians in exchange for Willi Castro on Tuesday, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Martin should immediately take over in center field for Cleveland with Tyler Naquin (hip) on the 10-day DL and Rajai Davis, who is hitting .256 with a .631 OPS, getting regular playing time. Through 78 games with the Tigers this year, Martin has hit .251/.321/.409 with nine home runs, 29 RBI and seven stolen bases. Though Martin has spent most of the year hitting atop the order in Detroit, he will likely serve in the bottom third of the Indians' lineup with Francisco Lindor, Michael Brantley and Jose Ramirez serving as the club's 1-2-3 hitters. Look for Martin to start against right-handed pitching while Davis draws the assignment versus southpaws.
