Detroit DH/C Victor Martinez could return this season despite reliable reports which suggested that he would miss the entire season after having microfracture surgery on his right knee in January. After it was discovered that the 33-year-old would not need follow-up surgery on his ACL his prognosis became more optimistic. However, it will not be know if Martinez will be able to make a return until as late as August.
Martinez batted .330 with 12 homers, 103 runs batted in, and a .380 on-base percentage last season. In what was probably not a coincidence, Detroit agreed to terms with 1B Prince Fielder on a nine-year, $214 million contract shortly after he underwent surgery.
