Martinez slashed .344/.324/.531 over 34 plate appearances with Triple-A Columbus and offers the Guardians valuable versatility, having played 2B, 3B, SS and all three outfield spots since 2023. Johnathan Rodriguez was optioned to Columbus in a corresponding move.

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.
