Martinez was waived last month and will remain in the organization. He appeared in 45 games with the Phillies, but isn't an option at third base going into next year.

Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Phillies sent INF/OF Michael Martinez outright to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

He's now off the 40-man roster. Martinez has been one of the worst players in the majors since the Phillies took him in the Rule 5 draft two winters ago, batting .188/.241/.272 over 356 plate appearances.

Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Phillies recalled INF/OF Michael Martinez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

He'll take the place of Mike Fontenot on the roster. Martinez, 29, is hitting just .133 (6-for-45) in 16 games with the Phillies this season, but will provide flexibility for the infield and outfield.

Wed, Aug 1, 2012 01:53:00 PM

Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Phillies optioned INF/OF Michael Martinez to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

He was sent down to make room for Chase Utley's return from the disabled list. Martinez is hitting .133 (6-for-45) in 16 games with the Phillies this year. He should return to the majors at some point later this summer.

Wed, Jun 27, 2012 02:31:00 PM

Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Michael Martinez hit a three-run homer in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Rockies.

Martinez took Alex White deep in the second inning. It was his only hit in four trips to the plate. Hitting .182/.250/.273 in 10 games (nine starts) since being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on June 7, Martinez is off the radar in NL-only leagues.

Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Phillies recalled INF Michael Martinez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Martinez will help provide depth at second base while Freddy Galvis recovers from a lower back strain. The 29-year-old is doubtful to hold any type of fantasy value.

Thu, Jun 7, 2012 10:14:00 AM

Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Phillies activated INF Michael Martinez from the 60-day disabled list; optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Martinez went 5-for-15 (.333) with a double and two RBI in four rehab games with High-A Clearwater. He began the season on the DL with a broken bone in his right foot.

Mon, Jun 4, 2012 11:05:00 PM

Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Michael Martinez (foot) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Clearwater Friday.

It's not clear how many games he'll need there, but it will probably be more than a handful since he's been out since mid-March with a broken foot. Pete Orr seems likely to lose his roster spot when Martinez is ready.

Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Phillies transferred INF Michael Martinez from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Mike Fontenot. Martinez has been on the disabled list all season after breaking a bone in his right foot during spring training.

Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Michael Martinez's (foot) walking boot has been removed, and he'll now continue his rehab at the Phillies' spring training complex in Florida.

Martinez suffered a broken bone in his right foot back on March 20. If he continues to recover as expected, he could rejoin the Phillies' roster by the end of May.

Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Michael Martinez (foot) will be in a walking boot for another two weeks.

Martinez suffered a broken bone in his foot when he was hit with a pitch on March 20. His return isn't considered imminent, so the Phillies recently signed Mike Fontenot as some insurance for their middle infield situation.

Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Michael Martinez (foot) is off his crutches and doing minor weight-bearing exercises.

Martinez began the season on the disabled list after suffering a broken bone in his right foot during spring training. The hope is that he'll be cleared to resume full workouts after meeting with doctors Monday. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro, Jr. estimates that he could be ready to return by late April or early May.

Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Phillies placed INF Michael Martinez on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 26, with a right foot fracture.

Martinez suffered a broken bone in his foot when he was hit with a pitch on March 20. He likely won't be ready to rejoin the Phillies until late-May or early-June.

Wed, Apr 4, 2012 09:20:00 PM

Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Michael Martinez (foot) won't be able to return to the field for 6-8 weeks.

It would presumably be at least an additional week or two before he would be game-ready, so we probably shouldn't expect him back until late May or early June. The Phillies are expected to pursue utility help from outside the organization.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Carlos Ruiz D.L. Phillies placed C Carlos Ruiz on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 20, with a right hamstring strain. Ruiz was diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain of his hamstring and is expected to miss 3-4 weeks. It's a tough blow for the Phillies, who just got Ruiz back from his suspension less than one month ago. Erik Kratz and Humberto Quintero will fill in behind the plate once again. May 21
	2	Erik Kratz
1B	1	Ryan Howard
2B	1	Chase Utley D.L. Phillies placed 2B Chase Utley on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 21, with a right oblique strain. General manager Ruben Amaro described the strain as "very mild," so, all things considered, it's pretty good news for the Phils. Amaro is hopeful that Utley will be ready when his two weeks are up, but it's possible he could be out as long as four weeks. Freddy Galvis will function as the primary second baseman while Utley is out. The team will make a corresponding move prior to Friday's game. May 23

	2	Roy Halladay D.L. Phillies transferred RHP Roy Halladay from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for Michael Martinez on the 40-man roster. It won't have any impact on Halladay's timeline, as he had shoulder surgery earlier this month and is unlikely to make it back until late August at the earliest. May 24
	3	Cliff Lee
	4	Kyle Kendrick
	5	John Lannan D.L. John Lannan (quad) is scheduled to face hitters next Wednesday. It will be the first time he's done so since going on the disabled list. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said Lannan "is doing very well. He feels good." The left-hander could rejoin the rotation in a few weeks if all goes well. May 22

	2	Mike Adams D.L. Mike Adams (back) will be activated from the disabled list on Sunday. Adams had been scheduled to make a rehab appearance next Monday, but evidently he's recovering a little quicker than expected. It's not clear if he'll appear in a minor league game over the weekend or just throw in the bullpen to get ready. Either way, Jonathan Papelbon will have his setup man back on Sunday. May 24
