Victor Martinez is likely to undergo his season-ending ACL surgery on Friday.
V-Mart got a second opinion on his knee Thursday in Vail, Colorado. If it confirms the original diagnosis of a torn ACL, he will undergo the major surgical procedure before the weekend. The Tigers will forge ahead, hoping that the addition of Prince Fielder makes up for the offense lost in Martinez’s absence. The 33-year-old hit .330/.380/.470 with 12 home runs and 103 RBI in 145 games last season as Detroit’s primary designated hitter.
