J.D. Martinez Out of New York Mets Game Against Washington Nationals due to Sore Ankle: Luis Torrens Steps In as DH

In recent news, the New York Mets have announced that J.D. Martinez will not be playing in their upcoming game against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday due to a sore left ankle. The team has opted to replace him with catcher Luis Torrens as the designated hitter for the game. Torrens will now be batting sixth in the lineup, following Francisco Alvarez, while Mark Vientos has been moved up to the three-hole.

Unfortunately, no further information regarding Martinez’s condition has been provided. However, it is clear that his absence from the lineup will be felt by the team. Despite this setback, the Mets remain confident in their roster’s depth and ability to step up in his place.

In his debut season with the Mets, Martinez has been performing well and has been a valuable asset to the team. In just 56 games played, he is batting .278 with 10 home runs and 37 RBI. With his impressive performance on the field, it’s clear that he will be missed when he is not there. However, with Torrens stepping into his spot as the designated hitter and Vientos moving up to third base, the Mets are confident that they can still put together a solid lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Nationals.
