Boston Red Sox superstar slugger JD Martinez left Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals with back spasms and was replaced by Sam Travis, according to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe.
Martinez, 31, has largely avoided the injury bug during his time in Boston, appearing in 150 games during his epic 2018 debut season with the team. He has been dealing with back spasms throughout the 2019 season, however.
