Respectable showing in loss Martinez (2-3) took the loss Sunday against San Francisco, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five in 4.1 innings.

Impact Martinez was called up before the game to fill the spot in the rotation left vacant when Frankie Montas was traded. The first run against Martinez came on a solo homer to Mike Yastrzemski in the third and the second in the fifth inning after he was removed with two on and one out. It was his fifth start of the season for Oakland and first since July 11. For the season he has a 6.08 ERA and 1.44 WHIP with six homers allowed in 23.2 innings. Should he stay with the big-league club, his next start will likely be next weekend in Houston.

Called up ahead of start The Athletics recalled Martinez from Triple-A Las Vegas in advance of his scheduled start Sunday against the Giants in Oakland.

Impact Oakland sent first baseman/designated hitter Dermis Garcia to Triple-A to clear a spot on the active roster for Martinez, who will temporarily settle in as the Athletics' No. 5 starter in the wake of Frankie Montas being dealt to the Yankees ahead of the trade deadline. Considering Martinez turned in a 6.52 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over four starts with the Athletics earlier this season and because his numbers at Triple-A over a larger sample aren't much better (5.54 ERA, 1.45 WHIP in 16 starts), he'll likely need a respectable showing against San Francisco to ensure he sticks in the big-league rotation beyond Sunday. The Athletics have three other starting pitchers (Zach Logue, Jared Koenig and JP Sears) on the 40-man roster waiting in the wings at Triple-A to replace Martinez if he can't get the job done.

Set to start Sunday Martinez will start Sunday's game against the Giants, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Martinez had mixed results over four starts with the big club earlier in the season, and he will get another chance to show what he can do in the final game of the Bay Bridge Series. He threw at least 91 pitches in his last three starts with Triple-A Las Vegas, so don't expect him to be on a pitch count.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to minors The Athletics optioned Martinez to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Impact A four-run, 4.1-inning start Monday raised Martinez's ERA to an unimpressive 6.52. It remains to be seen whether the righty gets more big-league opportunities this season.

JULY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in Texas Martinez (2-2) allowed six runs (four earned) on four hits and four walks with three strikeouts in 4.1 innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Rangers.

Impact Since rejoining the Athletics in late June, Martinez has two bad starts and one good one. Monday was a struggle, as he had two wild pitches and a balk lead to two runs in the second inning. The Rangers' got to him for three more runs in the fourth and another in the fifth before he exited the contest. With only a tenuous grasp on a rotation spot, Martinez can't afford much inconsistency. He's posted a 6.52 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB across 19.1 innings this year. If Frankie Montas (shoulder) returns during the upcoming three-game series versus the Astros, it's unclear if Martinez will make another start before the All-Star break. His turn would come up Sunday if he stays in the rotation.

JULY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up second win Martinez (2-1) earned the win Tuesday over the Blue Jays. He allowed three runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out five in five innings.

Impact Martinez allowed all three runs on home runs -- former Athletics slugger Matt Chapman took him deep for a two-run blast in the second inning and Teoscar Hernandez added a solo shot in the fourth. While it wasn't a convincing start, Martinez got enough run support and four scoreless innings from the Oakland bullpen to come away with his second win in three starts. The right-hander has a 6.00 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB through 15 innings so far. Martinez likely did enough to earn himself another start, which is projected for next week in Texas.

JULY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains in rotatoin Martinez is slated to make his next start with the Athletics on Tuesday against the Blue Jays in Oakland.

Impact The rookie right-hander receives a second turn through the Oakland rotation despite lasting 4.2 innings while serving up seven earned runs on seven hits and two walks in his second career big-league start Thursday in Seattle. The Athletics aren't flush with capable options to replace Martinez in the rotation, but Austin Pruitt -- who struck out six and allowed one earned run in 4.1 innings of long relief Sunday against the Mariners -- could be the next man up to get a look in a starting role if Martinez falters again this week.

JULY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Registers first career loss Martinez (1-1) took the loss against Seattle on Thursday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings.

Impact Martinez was called up early in the day to make his second career start. His first outing went well -- he pitched 5.1 scoreless frames -- but it was a much different story Thursday, as the right-hander couldn't get out of the fifth inning. Martinez was torched for a pair of homers and a triple among the seven hits he allowed, and he managed to induce only one swinging strike across his 83 pitches. It's unclear if he'll remain in the rotation for another start, but he'll likely need to begin missing more bats to be successful at the major-league level.

JULY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Thursday Martinez was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas and will start Thursday versus the Mariners, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact As expected, Martinez will toe the rubber Thursday against Seattle, making his second career major-league start. He last pitched for the big league club May 10, tossing 5.1 scoreless frames against the Tigers while allowing four hits and striking out three. The 25-year-old will look to repeat his success from that outing when he takes on a division rival in the series opener.

Joining MLB rotation Thursday Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Martinez will be called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Thursday's game against the Mariners in Seattle, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco C...

Impact The 25-year-old right-hander will be entering the rotation as a replacement for Jared Koenig, who was optioned to Triple-A over the weekend. Martinez has delivered a strong 18.1 K-BB% over 13 starts for Las Vegas this season, but pitching in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League has likely played a part in him turning in an underwhelming 5.63 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. He'll be getting the call to Oakland for the second time this season after he tossed 5.1 scoreless frames in a winning effort May 10 against the Tigers in his MLB debut.

JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back at Triple-A Martinez was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas following last week's start in Detroit.

Impact Oddly enough, his best statistical start of the season was his one for the big club, as he struck out three over 5.1 scoreless innings. It's been a different story in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, where he has a 7.61 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 32 strikeouts in 23.2 innings through six starts.

MAY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up win in MLB debut Martinez (1-0) earned the win in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Tigers. He allowed four hits and had three strikeouts and zero walks over 5.1 scoreless innings.

Impact The 25-year-old served as the 27th man for Tuesday's twin bill and started the nightcap, and he delivered a strong outing in his big-league debut. Martinez had a 7.45 ERA through five outings with Triple-A Las Vegas, but he allowed only four singles across 5.1 shutout frames Wednesday. The right-hander should return to the minors, but the performance could earn him another big-league opportunity later in the campaign.

MAY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially called up The Athletics recalled Martinez from Triple-A Las Vegas ahead of his scheduled start in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader in Detroit.

Impact He'll be designated as the Athletics' 27th man for what will be his MLB debut, meaning Martinez will most likely be sent back to Las Vegas immediately after the doubleheader. Through his five starts at Las Vegas this season spanning 19.1 innings, Martinez has submitted a 7.45 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB.

MAY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

MLB debut scheduled Martinez will make his MLB debut Tuesday, as he's scheduled to start the nightcap of a doubleheader against Detroit, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Martinez came over from the Padres in early April as part of the return for Sean Manaea. He's struggled in five starts for Triple-A Las Vegas this season, posting a 7.45 ERA and a 10.3 percent walk rate, though he's at least struck out 28.7 percent of opposing batters.

MAY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Martinez to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.

Impact Oakland formally sent Martinez to the minors after he was one of two prospects acquired from the Padres earlier Sunday in the deal that sent Sean Manaea to San Diego. Though he won't immediately step into the big-league rotation as a replacement for Manaea, Martinez should have a good chance to make his MLB debut later in 2022, given his status as an advanced minor-league arm who's on the 40-man roster of a rebuilding organization. After a second-half promotion from Double-A San Antonio last season, Martinez delivered a 5.28 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 44.1 innings with El Paso in his first exposure to the Triple-A level.

APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealt to Oakland in Manaea trade The Athletics acquired Martinez and infielder Euribiel Angeles on Sunday in exchange for pitchers Sean Manaea and Aaron Holiday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 19-year-old Angeles is viewed as the better of the two prospects heading to Oakland, though Martinez is closer to reaching the big leagues after San Diego added him to its 40-man roster over the winter. Oakland is expected to continue developing Martinez as a starter after he produced a 3.38 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 122:41 K:BB in 125 innings between stops at Triple-A El Paso and Double-A San Antonio. While Martinez will most likely open the upcoming season at Triple-A Las Vegas with his new organization, the fact that the Athletics have now shipped out Manaea and lost James Kaprielian (shoulder) and Brent Honeywell (elbow) to injuries this spring could give the 25-year-old right-hander and outside shot to crack Oakland's Opening Day rotation.

APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Added to 40-man roster Martinez was added to the Padres' 40-man roster Sunday.

Impact The 24-year-old righty pitched in the upper levels of the minors for the first time this past season. He primarily pitched as a starter, logging a 2.34 ERA at Double-A and a 5.28 ERA in the hitter-friendly conditions at Triple-A. Martinez will serve as rotation and bullpen depth next season.
