The Detroit Tigers today announced that designated hitter Victor Martinez tore the ACL in his left knee during off-season conditioning last week and likely will miss the 2012 season.
Martinez hit .330 with 12 home runs and 103 RBIs in 145 games with the Tigers last season. He signed a $50-million, four-year contract before last season.
He batted No. 5 in the lineup throughout last season, and his absence leaves a big hole behind cleanup hitter Miguel Cabrera.
