Nick Martinez Getting The Starting Nod Against Marlins
4 months agoCincinnati Reds right-hander Nick Martinez will make the start on Monday versus the hosting Miami Marlins. This will be Martinez's first actual start for the Reds since May 22, but he did throw four innings as the team's bulk reliever last Tuesday against the division-rival Chicago Cubs. The 34-year-old veteran tossed an inning of relief on Friday against the San Francisco Giants. Fantasy managers should expect Martinez to be able to go a few innings in this one, but even with the excellent matchup against the Fish, he's not going to have much upside with a limited workload expected. In a small sample size of just five starts in his first year in Cincy, Martinez hasn't been very good, yielding a 7.36 ERA with 17 strikeouts and four walks in 25 2/3 innings pitched.
