The Astros have placed 24-year old lefty swinging outfielder Fernando Martinez on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 27th, due to a strained oblique. Martinez played in 41 games for the Astros last year and he was 28 for 118 (.237 avg, .766 OPS) with 12 runs scored, 6 homers and 14 RBIs. Martinez has now played in 88 games in his first four years in the majors and he is 52 for 249 (.209 avg, .647 OPS) with 27 runs scored, 8 homers, 26 RBIs and 2 stolen bases. The Astros hope Martinez doesn’t miss too long.
