A 9-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox<\/a> on Saturday snapped the <\/a>Cleveland Guardians<\/a>\u2019 two-game winning streak. Heading into Sunday\u2019s series finale, a win could increase the Guardians\u2019 AL Central lead back to three games. Saturday\u2019s defeat stings even more with the early exit<\/a> of outfielder Angel Martinez<\/a>. According to team beat reporter Mason Horodyski on X, formerly Twitter, Martinez<\/a> left due to left foot inflammation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe #Guardians broadcast says that Angel Mart\u00ednez exited today\u2019s game with left foot inflammation,\u201d reported Horodyski.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old is having a career year, hitting .243 with nine home runs and 29 RBI to this point. His eight stolen bases already match last year\u2019s total. After playing at both second base and the outfield last season, Martinez is exclusively an outfielder<\/a> for the Guardians so far this campaign. This could be one of the contributing factors to an improved 2026.<\/p>\n

With an injury of this nature, recovery could be quick. It could also be tricky. Martinez could be back only after a couple of games, avoiding a trip to the IL in the process. However, it\u2019s still too soon to tell how long the emerging outfielder will be out. Cleveland is also without fellow outfielder Steven Kwan<\/a> for a few games while he\u2019s on the paternity list. For the moment, rookie Chase DeLauter<\/a> and utilityman Daniel Schneemann<\/a> will need to team up with the Guardians\u2019 bench<\/a> to cover both Martinez and Kwan. Can Cleveland maintain its division lead without two of their most valued contributors? The next few days will give the Guards\u2019 faithful an answer.<\/p>\n
