Justin Martinez Could Land On Injured List
Justin Martinez (shoulder) said he feels great despite dealing with shoulder fatigue recently, but with his velocity down, the skipper said that imaging and/or an injured-list stint are possible. The D-backs continue to evaluate Martinez, and an IL stint can't be ruled out. The 23-year-old Dominican gave up his first run of the season, walked two and hit a batter on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves but still managed to hold on for his third save of the year in the 6-4 win. He entered for another save chance on Wednesday night against the New York Mets but allowed two earned runs on a homer while walking two without recording an out before Ryan Thompson came entered to close things out. It's looking more and more like that Martinez is going to need a trip to the IL, and with A.J. Puk (elbow) already out, Thompson, Shelby Miller and Jalen Beeks could be candidates for saves in Arizona moving forward.
