MLB Note - St. Louis Cardinals Martinez, Jose

Sep 26, 2017 - 9:47 AM 1B Jose Martinez (thumb) didn't start for the third straight game Monday night and the timetable for his return isn't known. Martinez left Friday night's game in Pittsburgh before the bottom of the seventh in obvious discomfort and hasn't played since. Martinez is batting .309 with 13 homers and 42 RBI in 256 at-bats during his first MLB season, and plans to take swings Tuesday to see if he can return to action.
