4 years agoNew York Mets utility player Jose Martinez twisted his knee during a defensive play at first base on Sunday. He was hurt when he ran into the umpire. The injury comes at a terrible time for Martinez, who is coming off a poor showing in 2020 and is likely competing for a bench role with his new team. Last season, he hit just .182 with a 28% strikeout rate while splitting the season between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Chicago Cubs. Between 2017 and 2019, he was a strong offensive performer for the St. Louis Cardinals. Martinez will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury.--Marc Hulet - RotoBaller
