Ramon E. Martinez

6/8/2005

The Detroit Tigers have traded Martinez and veteran reliever Ugueth Urbina to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for infielder Placido Polanco. Martinez has appeared in just 19 games so far this season, batting .268 with five RBI.

With starting shortstop Carlos Guillen bothered by discomfort in his surgically repaired right knee, Martinez has been in the lineup as Detroit's shortstop lately. With Guillen sitting for all but one game over the last week, Martinez has gone 5-for-18 (.278) with a pair of RBI in five games. Guillen remains day-to-day.

The Detroit Tigers activated Martinez from the disabled list on Thursday. The utility infielder is returning from a thumb injury that sidelined him for most of three weeks. He went 11-for-15 during a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo, including a 6-for-6 performance in which he collected six singles. The 32-year-old veteran is 0-for-1 with the Tigers this season.

The Tigers optioned righthander Andrew Good to Toledo to make room for Martinez on the 25-man roster.

In his first minor league game Tuesday as part of his rehab for a thumb injury, Martinez went 6-for-6 as Detroit's Triple-A Toledo affiliate defeated Louisville, 14-1. The middle infielder singled in the first, third, fourth, sixth, eighth and ninth innings.

The 32-year-old Martinez had just one at-bat with the Tigers this season before going on the 15-day disabled list on April 9. Detroit manager Alan Trammell does not expect the rehab stint to last very long. Martinez could rejoin the Tigers by this weekend.
