Victor Martinez (knee surgery) has been off crutches for 10 days.
Martinez had microfracture surgery on his left knee in late January and underwent a procedure in early March to help the healing of his ACL. V-Mart can't afford any setbacks, but he's encouraged about the possibility of returning in September. We should know more about his status when he undergoes an MRI during a check-up in July.

Updating a previous item, Victor Martinez underwent a procedure last week to help the healing of the ACL in his left knee.
V-Mart was originally expected to undergo ACL reconstruction on the knee, but Dr. Richard Steadman ultimately opted for a less serious procedure. The Tigers estimate that the 33-year-old will need approximately seven months to recover from January microfracture surgery, so there's a chance he could be ready for baseball activities in late-August or September if all goes well. It's an interesting possibility, but we won't know more about his status until he undergoes a follow-up MRI in July.

Tom Gage of the Detroit News reports that there's "new hope" Victor Martinez could return later this season because he didn't need ACL reconstructive surgery on his left knee.
Very interesting. V-Mart had microfracture surgery on his left knee in late-January and was scheduled to undergo ACL reconstructive surgery last week, but apparently the damage wasn't as extensive as originally believed. While this is encouraging news, we likely won't know more about he undergoes an MRI until sometime in July. Setbacks from microfracture surgery are also common, so the Tigers certainly won't count on him.

Victor Martinez is scheduled to undergo ACL reconstructive knee surgery this week.
V-Mart had microfracture surgery in February and is now ready for his second scheduled procedure. The 33-year-old has already been ruled out for all of 2012. And his recovery could linger into the 2013 campaign.

Jose Valverde
Sidelined
Jose Valverde (back) is available Tuesday night.
Valverde hasn't pitched since last Tuesday because of lower back tightness. The 34-year-old right-hander has a 5.51 ERA and is just 7-for-9 in save opportunities this season but remains a strong fantasy option at closer and should be made active in all leagues immediately.

Luis Marte (hamstring) tossed three scoreless innings Monday in a rehab appearance at Triple-A Toledo.
Marte walked one and struck out two while allowing just one hit. He needed only 35 total pitches to get through the three solid frames. The right-hander should be ready for activation from the disabled list within the next few days but might just remain stationed in the Toledo 'pen.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster. Alburquerque is currently working his way back from right elbow surgery and is unlikely to return to the majors until July.
