Fantasy Impact:

Martínez’s .553 OPS this spring couldn’t clinch a Guardians utility spot, landing him in Columbus Friday, though he’s poised for 2025 MLB time. The 23-year-old’s bat needs work. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his versatility for a midseason call-up to Cleveland’s infield or outfield if he heats up at Triple-A this year.
