After missing all of last season following left knee surgery, Victor Martinez is surprised by how quickly his timing has returned this spring.

He has three hits in three Grapefruit League games over just seven at-bats.

"This is only my third game, but yeah, I've been really surprised," Martinez said. "The hard part is just to get the rhythm, pick up the ball from the pitcher's hand. I've been able to do that the last three days. It's a good sign."
