Martinez (foot) will start in right field and bat fifth Monday against the Royals.
Martinez ended up exiting Sunday's game against the White Sox after experiencing renewed soreness in his right foot, but that departure was for precautionary purposes more than anything else. After receiving some treatment, Martinez is feeling well enough to man the field again and looks like a safe activation heading into the upcoming week. Despite opening the season on the disabled list with a sprained Lisfranc ligament in the foot, Martinez hasn't missed a beat since returning from the disabled list in mid-May, slashing .298/.452/.766 over 62 plate appearances.
