Cleveland Indians outfielder Leonys Martin is recovering from a bacterial infection that team president Chris Antonetti described as ¡°life-threatening.¡±
Martin is in stable condition at the Cleveland Clinic. Antonetti provided an update on Martin¡¯s status when he addressed the team prior to Monday¡¯s series opener against the Reds.
Doctors determined Martin had a bacterial infection that entered his bloodstream and created toxins that damaged his internal organs, compromising their function.
Antonetti says it was ¡°very serious.¡± But he says Martin has made a lot of progress in the last 24 to 36 hours.
