Toronto Blue Jays shortstop prospect Orelvis Martinez is off to an impressive start post-All-Star break. One of the team's best prospects, he boasts good bat speed and more power than you would expect out of an undersized shortstop. Although his home run totals continue to garner plenty of attention, there's no denying that Martinez's discipline needs to improve. He chases far too many pitches out of the zone, especially ones that miss outside. The 20-year-old has spent most of his time at shortstop but could transition to third base pretty seamlessly if needed. Martinez's second half of the season got off to a hot start this past week. He went 0-for-4 in his first game back, but then proceeded to go 6-for-8 with three homers, one double and five RBI over the course of his last two contests. The right-hander scored five runs in the process and also managed to increase his slugging percentage by 43 points. Anticipate a mid-2023 MLB debut for the Dominican Republic native.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Orelvis Martinez (hip) was forced to exit early during Monday's spring training contest. Martinez is considered day-to-day after getting hit by a pitch in the hip during his lone plate appearance. It sounds like he's only dealing with a bruised hip, so this isn't something that should sideline him for long. Martinez was already unlikely to make the Opening Day roster, but it shouldn't be long before he's playing everyday in Toronto. The 23-year-old has some legitimate power in his bat, so he could be an immediate impact player once he gets the chance to play everyday.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

Toronto Blue Jays infield prospect Orelvis Martinez has gone 2-for-4 with a double and home run during his first two spring training games. Martinez has also held a 1:1 BB:K ratio. The infielder went deep during Saturday's contest against the New York Yankees. The 23-year-old is expected to see time at both the keystone and the hot corner throughout camp. Martinez made his MLB debut last summer but was only able to appear in one game before being hit with an 80-game PED suspension, which ended his season. However, Martinez will be eligible to return at the start of the season. Last summer, the 23-year-old flashed elite power at Triple-A as he went deep 17 times across 74 games. He posted a .267/.346/.523 line with a 27:76 BB:K ratio. Given the time he missed last summer, he will likely open the season with Triple-A Buffalo.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Toronto Blue Jays infield prospect Orelvis Martinez is expected to split time between second and third base during spring training. Blue Jays manager John Schneider noted that the infielder still has a lot to prove on the defensive side of his game. Last season, Martinez got the call to the majors in June but was only able to play in one contest before being suspended for PED use. However, he has served his suspension and is eligible to return to the MLB. In 74 contests at Triple-A last season, the No. 2 ranked prospect in the system posted a .267/.346/.523 line with 19 doubles and 17 home runs. He held a 27:76 BB:K ratio and did not swipe a bag. During spring training, fantasy managers should expect Martinez to compete for a depth role alongside Addison Barger and Will Wagner. However, given the time he missed due to the suspension, he will likely open the campaign at Triple-A.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

The Toronto Blue Jays optioned infield prospect Orelvis Martinez to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Monday after he finished serving his 80-game suspension. Martinez will now return to the team's spring training complex to close out the year after being suspended for 80 games due to performance-enhancing substances. The team's No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, made his big-league debut this year but played in just one game. In 74 games at Triple-A Buffalo, he hit .267/.346/.523 with an .869 OPS, 17 home runs, 49 RBI and 54 runs scored in 319 plate appearances. The 22-year-old Dominican will likely stick at either second or third base at the next level and has great power despite his shorter stature. Martinez has already shown impressive improvement in the plate-discipline department and seems likely to have a regular role in the big leagues in 2025 for a team looking for more offense.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
