"J.D. Martinez's Mets Debut Delayed for Conditioning, Set to Reassess Next Week"

J.D. Martinez's debut with the New York Mets will be delayed as he continues to work on his physical conditioning after signing late in spring training. The 2023 All-Star will stay in Port St. Lucie to get more at-bats and rest for a couple of days before playing again, likely on Tuesday. Martinez, who signed a $12 million, one-year contract with the Mets, went 1-for-8 with a walk in two games at Single-A Port St. Lucie. The 36-year-old outfielder could provide a much-needed offensive boost for the struggling Mets, but for now, he will remain a designated hitter as he continues to build up his physical readiness.
