Justin Martinez Dealing With Shoulder Fatigue
Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed reliever Justin Martinez (shoulder) is dealing with right-shoulder fatigue that could just be a dead-arm phase early in the season, and manager Torey Lovullo said it's possible that he'll be available out of the bullpen on Wednesday if the team needs him against the Tampa Bay Rays. Lovullo also said that Martinez is "very, very close" to being 100 percent, which is good news considering that left-hander A.J. Puk (elbow) landed on the injured list over the weekend. Martinez should see most of Arizona's save chances going forward if he can get past his shoulder issue with Puk sidelined. When Martinez was unavailable for a save opportunity on Sunday against the Cubs, Drey Jameson got the call and closed the door. In addition to Jameson, Shelby Miller, Jalen Beeks and Ryan Thompson could be options in the ninth if Martinez can't get past his shoulder issue.
