J.D. Martinez Could Be In The Lineup For Game 2
3 years agoBoston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (ankle) could be in the starting lineup for Game 2 of the ALDS against the Tampa Bay Rays. After the team's Game 1 loss, Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters that there was a "strong possibility" that Martinez would play in Game 2. The 34-year-old slugger is currently dealing with swelling in his left ankle. He was sidelined for the Wild Card game and wasn't able to go in Game 1 of the ALDS. The Red Sox will be releasing their starting lineup in a few hours. Martinez would give the team a big boost in the heart of the lineup. He slashed .286/.349/.518 with 28 home runs, 99 RBI and 92 runs over 148 games this year.
