The Detroit Tigers have placed catcher/designated hitter on the 15-day disabled list (DL), per John Lowe of the Detroit Free Press.
Martinez, who strained his right groin in Saturday's game, aggravated the injury in Monday's win over the Mariners.
The Tigers called up catcher Omir Santos from Triple-A to take V-Mart's roster spot.
In his past three games, Martinez has five hits in ten at-bats. On the season, Martinez is hitting .250 with two home runs and nine runs batted in.
