Martinez left Saturday’s game with a left foot contusion.
X-rays were negative, according to The Athletic’s Zack Meisel.
DeLauter has a right ribcage contusion.
He got hurt crashing into the outfield wall in the first inning of the game.
DeLauter actually stayed in and got a hit but was clearly in some pain and exited after his base knock.
