Martin is not in the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Blue Jays, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin returned to the lineup Friday after skipping Thursday's tilt due to a hamstring injury, so it's possible the club is watching his workload to ensure the center fielder avoids reinjuring it. Jacoby Jones will slide over from left to play center Saturday, while Niko Goodrum will start in left field and Dixon Machado slots in at second base.

Martin (hamstring) is back in the lineup Friday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Martin will return after receiving a cortisone shot in his ailing hamstring Thursday. He will not, however, return to the leadoff spot -- Jeimer Candelario will bat atop the order while Martin bats seventh. It's hard to argue with manager Ron Gardenhire's decision as Martin hit just .237/.301/.382 in May and is getting on base at just a .319 clip for the season.

Martin (hamstring) is hopeful that he'll return for Friday's tilt against the Blue Jays, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin stated that along with getting his left hamstring drained, he also received a cortisone injection Thursday. He'll look to return Friday depending on how his injury responds to treatment.

Martin will miss Thursday's series finale with the Angles after getting fluid drained near his left hamstring, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear as to when Martin's hamstring issue popped up, but he'll be considered day-to-day until the severity of the injury becomes known. With Martin on the bench, either Victor Reyes or Ronny Rodriguez are options to get the nod in center.

Martin went 2-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder was a catalyst in this one as he reached base four times. Martin has been solid if not spectacular for the Tigers this year, as he now has a .256 average and .755 OPS, though it's a marked improvement from the .172 average and .513 OPS he posted a season ago.

Martin is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin has started seven straight games, so he'll head to the bench with lefty Hector Santiago toeing the rubber for the opposition. In his place, JaCoby Jones will start in center field and hit leadoff, opening up a spot in the outfield for Victor Reyes to pick up a start.

Martin (hamstring) will man center field and bat atop the Tigers' order against Seattle on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Martin was recently activated from the 10-day DL, which prompted Detroit to restructure its lineup with the 30-year-old back in it. The club shifted JaCoby Jones to left field, Niko Goodrum to third base and Pete Kozma to the bench.

Martin (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day DL on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Martine is not in Friday's lineup against the Mariners, but he will likely be available as a defensive replacement should manager Ron Gardenhire desire to give him some game action upon his return. Expect to see Martin back in Saturday's starting nine. In a corresponding move, the Tigers optioned Ryan Carpenter to Triple-A Toledo.

Martin (hamstring) will return to Detroit on Monday for further evaluation and expects to receive clearance to return from the 10-day disabled list when first eligible Friday against the Mariners, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since being shut down May 8 with left knee inflammation that was later categorized as a hamstring issue, Martin has worked with a physical therapist in Miami and is said to have made notable progress in his recovery. The Detroit training staff will seem for themselves how Martin is coming along Monday, and if the hamstring issue doesn't prove concerning, he'll likely be able to resume baseball activities. Martin's eventual return from the DL will push JaCoby Jones from center field to a corner-outfield spot, likely resulting in Mikie Mahtook losing out on an everyday role.

The Tigers placed Martin (knee) on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Martin was held out of Tuesday's lineup with a swollen left knee and was scheduled to undergo an MRI. The MRI results have yet to be disclosed, but the 30-year-old will be out until at least May 19. Mikie Mahtook was recalled from Triple-A Toledo to bolster the Tigers outfield depth.
