Victor, Are you Still Alive?

An inflamed elbow sidelined Victor Martinez Wednesday night:

"Victor got hurt on a swing in the first inning," Indians manager Eric Wedge said. "He winced when it happened. It's something that's been bothering him on and off all year. It must have been one of those swings that bit him a little more than usual."

Martinez, who has battled a sore left hamstring since Opening Day, was not required to make a throw during the first inning so it is uncertain when he was injured.

It's clear the injuries destroyed Martinez's ability to hit this season. He holds a .332 OBA and a .333 slugging percentage. His career numbers are .370 and .463. He wasn't helping the team, and a stint on the DL will probably do both parties some good.
