Victor Martinez suffered from a hernia during the 2016 season. He started out great, with a .352/.394/.553 slash line through June 5. He hit .254/.327/.432 the rest of the way.
“He had a small hernia throughout the season,” Avila said. “And I don’t know if you guys noticed, but during the season, he would always touch his stomach area.
“He had a hernia — it’s not a sports-related hernia. It wasn’t one of those that would keep you out. It’s more of a hernia like we would get. He was able to play through it, so he had that taken care of in the offseason. Obviously, it was successful, so he went back and started working out.”
He was pretty tough to play the rest of the year with a bulge in his intestinal wall.
