Martinez (ankle) isn't in the lineup for Game 1 of the ALDS against the Rays on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Martinez is on Boston's ALDS roster, but Kyle Schwarber will serve as the designated hitter while Christian Arroyo enters the lineup at second base Thursday. Manager Alex Cora said prior to Game 1 that the 34-year-old will take batting practice Thursday and could return as the designated hitter Friday, per Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic.
