Optioned to minor-league camp
Martinez was optioned to minor-league camp by the Blue Jays on Monday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Martinez has impressive power in his right-handed bat but has struggled to hit for average thus far in the professional ranks. He batted .203 with a 28.6 percent strikeout rate for Double-A New Hampshire last season but also clubbed 30 home runs. If he can keep the contact issues in check, he has a chance to be a strong fantasy option in the coming years.

For fantasy, Martinez may end up being a one-tool player, but it's a pretty special tool. He has huge power, particularly to the pull side, that he is already showing off regularly in games. It's rare for teenagers to hit 15-plus home runs against full-season pitching, and Martinez hit 28 in 98 games between Low-A and High-A as a 19-year-old. He swings at the pitches he should swing at, but he also swings at many pitches he shouldn't swing at (33.6% chase rate). It's too early to say with much confidence what type of batting averages and on-base percentages Martinez will log in the majors, but he seems unlikely to be a positive contributor in batting average, given his aggressive, pull-heavy approach and current issues making contact. His defensive home is also TBD, but third base is currently seen as his most likely landing spot. Expect 30-plus homer seasons and be happy if it comes with a .245 average.
