After not being included on the Red Sox' Wild Card Game roster, J.D. Martinez is on Boston's 26-man active roster for the American League Division Series against the Rays, which begins Thursday night in Tampa Bay.
It remains unclear when Martinez will actually be able to play after rolling his ankle on second base while jogging to the outfield on Sunday, but his inclusion on the series roster signals that the Red Sox anticipate he'll be able to go at some point during this series.
Here is the full roster:
Pitchers (13): Ryan Brasier, Austin Davis, Nathan Eovaldi, Tanner Houck, Adam Ottavino, Martín Pérez, Nick Pivetta, Garrett Richards, Hansel Robles, Eduardo Rodriguez, Chris Sale, Josh Taylor, Garrett Whitlock
Catchers (2): Kevin Plawecki, Christian Vázquez
Infielders (5): Christian Arroyo, Xander Bogaerts, Bobby Dalbec, Rafael Devers, Travis Shaw
Outfielders (4): J.D. Martinez, Hunter Renfroe, Kyle Schwarber, Alex Verdugo
Infielder/Outfielders (2): Kiké Hernández, Danny Santana
The most notable omission is Matt Barnes, who served as the Red Sox' closer for much of the regular season before struggling mightily over the last couple months.
