Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Omar Martínez, 24-year-old catcher, was selected by the Angels from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill the roster spot of injured catcher Travis d'Arnaud (right foot plantar fasciitis). Martínez is a former Yankees international signing from Venezuela (2018) who climbed through the minors with declining results as competition increased. At Triple-A Salt Lake this season, he posted a .212/.307/.424 line with a 34.7% strikeout rate. The Angels' catching situation has been decimated by injuries, with both Logan O'Hoppe (wrist fracture) and d'Arnaud now on the IL.
