Twins Place Austin Martin On 10-Day Injured List

By Mark Polishuk | July 7, 2024 at 3:32pm CDT

Prior to today’s game with the Astros, the Twins placed Austin Martin on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 6) with a left oblique strain.  Outfielder Matt Wallner was called up from Triple-A in the corresponding move, and Wallner was in the lineup today as Minnesota’s starting left fielder.

Martin has hit .265/.331/.372 with one home run over 124 plate appearances in his first Major League season, primarily playing in left and center field with a handful of games as a second baseman.  This versatility and his roughly league-average offensive production has been quite helpful for the Twins in managing several injuries, as Martin has been recalled three times from Triple-A to help fill holes around the diamond.

Unfortunately, Martin has now been bit by the injury bug himself, and could be facing a lengthy stint on the IL if he has a longer-lasting type of oblique issue.  While he’ll collect some extra Major League service time on the injured list, it’s obviously a setback for a former top prospect looking to firmly establish himself as a big leaguer.  The Blue Jays selected Martin with the fifth overall pick of the 2020 draft and then dealt him to Minnesota as part of the Jose Berrios trade a year later, and Martin’s prospect stock diminished after a pair of injury-marred seasons in the minors.

Martin joins Royce Lewis and Alex Kirilloff on the Twins’ 10-day IL, and the team had another injury scare today when Carlos Correa left the game after being hit on the right hand by a pitch.  The Twins announced that Correa suffered only a finger contusion and that x-rays were negative, though it wouldn’t be a surprise if Correa took a day or two off (or even went on the 10-day IL himself) if there are any lingering soreness.

        I thought those got repaired in a garage. Oh wait, we’re not talking about Aston Martin.
