Martin went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's victory over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Martin took advantage of his first start in the four-game series, drilling a 410-foot blast to center field in the second inning. Through 179 plate appearances this season, Martin is slashing .220 with four homers and 12 runs batted in.

Martin will start at catcher and bat eighth Sunday against the Padres, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lightly used Martin will enter the lineup for only the second time in nine games. He'll continue to see limited action behind the dish the rest of the season with manager Dave Roberts having seemingly committed to rookie Will Smith as the team's top backstop.

Martin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Martin and Austin Barnes split work behind the plate in the four-game series, with the former drawing into the starting nine Thursday and Saturday. Despite the even timeshare over the weekend, Martin still looks like the No. 2 backstop, especially with his offensive production trending down of late. Over the last month, Martin has gone 9-for-49 with 17 strikeouts.

Martin went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Martin's eighth-inning base hit to score Chris Taylor held up as the difference in the Dodgers' narrow victory. The veteran was making just his fourth start since Austin Barnes returned from the injured list June 7 and will likely continue to see a lighter share of the action between the two backstops when both are healthy.

Martin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Austin Barnes will step in behind the plate for the second time in the series and should reclaim top catching duties following his recent return from the 10-day injured list. With that in mind, Martin may only be in line for two or three starts per week, despite posting an impressive .383 on-base percentage through 94 plate appearances on the season.

Martin went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in an 8-3 win for the Dodgers over the Reds on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop homered for the first time since April 5, checking in with a solo blast off Wandy Peralta in the eight inning for his second of the year. Martin only has 46 at-bats on the season, but he's performed well in his opportunities, as he's slashing .261/.397/.435.

Martin is starting at catcher and hitting sixth against the Giants on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slides in for Austin Barnes, who will get a rest after starting the Dodgers' last two games. Martin is slashing .300/.444/.500 in eight games so far this season.

Martin (back) was activated from the injured list Saturday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin wound up missing 17 days with lower-back inflammation. He had started five of the Dodgers' first 12 games prior to the injury and will likely return to a similar role. Rocky Gale was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Martin (back) came through his simulated game with no setbacks and is expected to start Sunday against the Pirates, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This simulated game was the last step for Martin, and he came through it with no issues, clearing the way for his activation from the 10-day injured list. He should resume his timeshare behind the plate with Austin Barnes going forward.

Martin (back) will go through a simulated game Friday prior to being activated from the 10-day injured list, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin will have to clear one final hurdle before receiving the green light to return. The veteran backstop has been on the shelf since April 10 due to a lower-back strain but could be activated as soon as Saturday, assuming all goes well during his sim game.
