Jose Martinez Arrives At Rays Camp
4 years agoTampa Bay Rays outfielder/first baseman Jose Martinez is present at Rays summer camp for the first time on Saturday. Martinez tested positive for COVID-19 and just now has been cleared to join the team with less than a week until Opening Day, so there's a chance he might not be up to speed next week. Martinez has shown an ability to hit for power and average in the big leagues, but he needs to get enough at-bats in a crowded outfield picture in Tampa for him to be relevant in mixed leagues. Getting plate appearances at designated hitter could help, too. The 32-year-old is flying under the radar and could be a steal in deep mixed leagues if he sees enough playing time. At the very least, he'll be a nice DFS bargain against left-handed pitchers.
