JD Martinez update: Mets DH 'very unlikely' to join team on West Coast swing

JD Martinez's long-awaited Mets debut will have to wait a bit longer. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza and president of baseball operations said that it is “very unlikely,” that the 36-year-old slugger will travel with the team for their west-coast road trip to Los Angeles and San Francisco, which extends to April 24. “My expectation is [he will make his debut] shortly thereafter if not on the trip,” Stearns said. “We'll see where we're at but in reality, I think [his debut will come] when we get back,” Mendoza said.
