J.D. Martinez's Mets Debut Postponed Due to Extended Conditioning

The veteran slugger's anticipated start with the New York Mets is delayed as he works on physical conditioning in Port St. Lucie.

J.D. Martinez's debut with the New York Mets is delayed due to the need for more physical conditioning.
Martinez signed a one-year, $12 million contract with the Mets on March 24, after spending last season with the Dodgers.
The 36-year-old designated hitter and outfielder is experiencing overall body soreness from a rapid ramp-up.
Martinez is staying in Port St. Lucie for minor league games to get more at-bats and continue his conditioning.
The earliest potential debut for Martinez is now set for Friday, but his return remains uncertain.
