He's gone 13-for-36 (.361) over nine contests since he returned from a groin/hamstring issue that sent him to the injured list in August.

  • Dodgers' J.D. Martinez: Out of Sunday's lineup

  • Dodgers' J.D. Martinez: Goes yard in return

    Martinez went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 8-5 win over the Nationals.

    Activated from the IL earlier in the day, Martinez wasted little time proving he was fully recovered from his groin injury, as he drove a MacKenzie Gore slider over the fence in right-center field for a two-run shot in the first inning. It's his first long ball since July 25 and 26th of the season, and the 36-year-old DH might have enough time left on the calendar to reach 30 homers for the first time since 2019.

  • Dodgers' J.D. Martinez: Plays in back-to-back rehab games

    Martinez (groin) went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and three RBI on Wednesday in his second rehab game with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Martinez kicked off his rehab assignment Tuesday, going 0-for-4 as OKC's designated hitter.

  • Dodgers' J.D. Martinez: Expected back Friday

    Martinez (groin) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday and is expected to return to the major-league Dodgers on Sept. 8 against Washington, MLB.com reports.

    Martinez has been on the injured list since Aug. 22 but appears to be making progress toward a return. The veteran slugger is slated to play in a simulated game Saturday ahead of kicking off a rehab stint Sunday. If all goes well, Martinez will return to the big club for the first game of next weekend's three-game set in Washington, and he will likely resume duties as Los Angeles' regular DH.

  • Dodgers' J.D. Martinez: Rehab assignment coming

    Martinez (groin) will embark on a two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City before likely returning for the Dodgers' upcoming series against Washington, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    The Dodgers' series with the Nationals will run from Sept. 8-10, though it is unclear exactly which game Martinez will be activated for. The veteran slugger landed on the 10-day IL with left groin tightness on Aug. 22 and was slashing .200/.304/.300 across 23 plate appearances in August prior to getting injured.

  • Dodgers' J.D. Martinez: To rejoin team on road trip

    Martinez (groin) is expected to join the Dodgers during the upcoming road trip to Miami and Washington, which begins Sept. 5, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    While this news doesn't give an official return date for Martinez, it likely means the slugger is closing in on activation from the 10-day injured list. He was placed on the injured list Aug. 22 due to left groin tightness, and the team later revealed he'd need 2-to-3 weeks to recover.

    Martinez landed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday afternoon due to lingering left groin tightness and is going to be completely shut down from baseball activities for the next week. A build-up period will follow, and it could very well extend into mid-September. Michael Busch is serving as the Dodgers' designated hitter and batting eighth Tuesday night at Cleveland.
