Detroit Tigers Enjoying A (Somewhat) Healthy Victor Martinez

The Detroit Tigers are seeing signs of what a healthy Victor Martinez can mean to their lineup.

We may never know why the Tigers rushed Victor back from a fairly significant knee injury in February. Ultimately it may be a decision that proves costly in the 2015 pennant race.

The early season Victor Martinez wasn’t even a shadow of the hitter we have seen in Detroit. It was painful to watch his at bats and more painful to watch when he was on base.

After spending a month on the disable list and a short three game rehab stint at Toledo, he was reactivated Friday, June 19 against the New York Yankees.
