2024 Fantasy Outlook
Martin didn't make his Triple-A debut until July 3 after missing the first three months of the season while recovering from a UCL sprain in his elbow. He put up a decent .791 OPS with six homers and 16 steals over 59 games for Triple-A St. Paul. A key part of the 2021 Jose Berrios trade with Toronto, Martin was regarded as a top prospect as the fifth overall pick in 2020. He hasn't lived up to that hype given his injuries and lack of power (.142 ISO at Triple-A). He does display strong command of the strike zone with low strikeout and strong walk rates. He's seen as potential option in center field but isn't seen having the glove to stick at second base. He could emerge as a center field option should the Twins need depth given Byron Buxton's injury history. However, Martin may need to prove himself at Triple-A. Read Past Outlooks

Back in big leagues
The Twins recalled Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old was sent to St. Paul on Monday but will quickly rejoin the Twins as Byron Buxton (knee) landed on the injured list. Martin, Manuel Margot and Willi Castro could all see action in center field while Buxton is unavailable.

Stat Review
How does Austin Martin compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could rejoin big club
Martin could soon be recalled by the Twins as Byron Buxton awaits MRI results on his right knee, reports Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
It remains to be seen if the oft-injured Buxton is forced to miss any time, but it wouldn't be surprising given his latest issue is to the same knee on which he's already undergone two surgeries. Martin was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday when Carlos Correa returned from his intercostal injury, but the 25-year-old outfielder may make a quick return to the majors. Martin struggled offensively in his first taste of the big leagues with a .226/.294/.371 slash line in 22 games, but a 17.6 percent strikeout rate and 8.8 percent walk rate were encouraging.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Since 2018, Martin has hit double-digit homers in a season once, when he hit 10 homers for Vanderbilt in 2019. In 222 games since 2019, including at Vanderbilt and in the Arizona Fall League, Martin has hit a total of 11 home runs. It seems safe to say more power isn't on the way. He still logged a .367 OBP at Double-A and a .454 OBP in the AFL while stealing 45 bases in 113 games, so perhaps it's possible Martin could be an OBP-over-AVG version of Whit Merrifield with even less power, but that would require a big-league team giving him everyday playing time while knowing he will probably hit single-digit home runs. Additionally, Martin fits much better at second base and left field than anywhere else, and it's pretty rare for teams with any aspirations to put 30-grade power hitters at those positions.
