Chris Martin Feels Good After Bullpen, Nearing Return
Chris Martin (elbow) felt good after his bullpen session on Saturday, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. McCaffrey further expressed that there is a chance Martin will be activated off the 15-day IL on Wednesday instead of embarking on a rehab assignment. The 38-year-old hit the injured list in early July due to right elbow inflammation. If Martin continues to progress well through the early part of the week, he may avoid a rehab assignment altogether. Prior to the injury, Martin held a 3.42 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and a 2:29 BB:K ratio. While Martin should return to a high-leverage roll, he could contend for save opportunities as Kenley Jansen has blown two saves in his past five outings.
