Torre: Martin out for the season

Dodgers manager Joe Torre said Thursday that he expects catcher Russell
Martin to miss the rest of the season because of a hip injury.

Martin was injured Tuesday night trying to score against the San Diego Padres
and was placed on the 15-day disabled list for the first time in five big
league seasons. He has a labrum tear in his right hip.

“It’s pretty safe to say he won’t be back,” Torre said. “He’ll be on
crutches for three weeks, and it looks like it’s going to be the rest of the
year.”

The two-time All-Star, hitting .248 with five homers and 26 RBIs in 97 games,
tried to score after tagging up on a flyball to center field after doubling
home the Dodgers’ only runs in Tuesday’s 2-1 win. But he couldn’t beat the
one-hop throw from Chris Denorfia and was tagged out by Nick Hundley after
coming in standing up.

Despite the injury, Martin caught five more innings before coming out of the
game.

“I guess these next three weeks, they’ll probably take more pictures and
all that stuff and they’ll have a little better view of it after he tries
to keep the weight off it,” Torre said. “Right now I’m more concerned with
having him be able to get back to full health than and be able to do this
again.”

In the meantime, the catching duties will be handled by rookie A.J.Ellis
and 41-year-old Brad Ausmus, a three-time Gold Glove winner who caught
Vicente Padilla’s two-hit shutout on Wednesday night.

It was Ausmus’ second start behind the plate after missing 90 games with a
back injury. Ausmus, eighth in the career list for games caught, returned to
the active roster on July 20 following his first trip to the DL in 18 big
league seasons.

“We hope that we can overcome it and play well,” Torre said of Martin’s
absence. “We have two good catchers that maybe don’t give us the offense
that Russell does, but they certainly can handle the defensive part of it.
I’m probably going to go back and forth with them for a bit and just get a
feel for it. But I’m certainly not going to throw Ausmus into the fire,
after having been away so long with the back issues.”
