Another day, another scratch from the lineup for Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez.
For the fourth time this month, the Dodgers All-Star DH has been scratched from the lineup with groin tightness. The team made the announcement about an hour before game time.
Martinez has been dealing with this groin tightness all month, and missed over a week of time, but didn’t spend any time on the injured list.
The Dodgers were hoping Martinez could just sit out and let it heal, and then return to the lineup and go back to normal. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case.
