Player Notes

August 6, 2008
Victor Martinez took batting practice from both sides of the plate on Wednesday morning and threw to all the bases from behind the plate, MLB.com reports. The catcher is still not ready for a rehab assignment, though. Martinez is recovering from right elbow surgery and may be ready to head to the minors early next week.

Our View:Fantasy owners may still hope to squeeze a good September out of V-Mart, who will likely play a lot of first base and DH down the stretch.

August 5, 2008
Victor Martinez ran the bases Monday and reported no problems, reports the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "He moved around real well," manager Eric Wedge said.

Our View:Martinez could start a rehab assignment by the end of the week.

August 4, 2008
Victor Martinez will begin his rehab assignment later this week, and it's possible he could see some time at first base, according to Indians.com.

Our View:Kelly Shoppach has hit .325 since July 1, and keeping him at catcher when Martinez comes back is probably the smart thing to do. It would be nice for Martinez to start hitting for some power when he returns, as he has been an enormous disappointment in fantasy leagues. Not only has he been hurt, but he has not hit a single home run this season in nearly 200 at-bats.

July 29, 2008
Victor Martinez played catch on Monday and reported no ill effects, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. "He's caught a couple of bullpens," manager Eric Wedge said. "He didn't throw the ball back, but catching bullpens helps keep his legs in shape."

Our View:Martinez, who is coming back from right elbow surgery, is targeting a mid-August return.

July 19, 2008
Victor Martinez, recovering from right elbow surgery, is closer to resuming drills. "[He's] getting close to baseball activity. I think that hopefully towards the end of this week he can start getting more involved in baseball activity," manager Eric Wedge said on MLB.com. Wedge added: "He's still two or three weeks away, though. It's where we are."

Our View:The floundering Indians aren't about to rush V-Mart back into the lineup. We should see him sometime next month.
