Struggles in loss Tuesday Martinez (3-6) allowed five earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out seven across four innings, taking the loss to Cleveland on Tuesday.
Impact Martinez struggled again after having a historically bad outing in his previous start. He allowed two runs right away in the first inning. In the third inning, Martinez surrendered a three-run home run to Jose Ramirez. However, he had a season-high seven punchouts. The 29-year-old's ERA has risen to 6.21 in 58 innings. In his last 4.2 innings, he has 15 earned runs. He will try to turn the tide in his next start Sunday against the Cubs.

Destroyed by Dodgers Martinez (3-5) lasted only two-thirds of an inning against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing 10 runs on six hits and four walks while striking out one to take the loss.
Impact The right-hander suffered the worst outing of his career against a relentless Dodgers attack. He allowed the first eight batters he faced to reach base before opposing pitcher Walker Buehler mercifully struck out on a foul bunt attempt, and Martinez was pulled three batters later after issuing his fourth walk. The 10 runs he allowed were the most in his nine-year career, and the disastrous appearance raised his season ERA from 4.22 to 5.83. Martinez entered the game having posted five quality starts in his past six contests, so there's little chance that the blowup will affect his rotation security. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday at home against Cleveland.

Posts quality start Martinez allowed three runs on three hits and a walk with six strikeouts in six-plus innings versus Arizona on Thursday. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact The right-hander had no-hit Arizona through six innings, but he gave up two singles and a double to start the seventh. Genesis Cabrera allowed two inherited runners to score, but Martinez still finished with a quality start. The 29-year-old has posted a 4.22 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 30:16 K:BB in 53.1 innings this year. Martinez lines up for an unfavorable road start versus the Dodgers next week.

Returns with no-decision Martinez yielded two runs on four hits and a walk over six innings in Friday's loss to the Cubs. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Martinez got off to a rocky start, serving up a leadoff homer to Joc Pederson on the very first pitch of the game. He settled in for the rest of the outing and the only other run he allowed came on a sacrifice fly by Pederson in the fifth. It was Martinez's first appearance since May 8 when he walked five and gave up five runs. The 29-year-old is sporting a 4.18 ERA and a 24:15 K:BB through eight starts this season. He's lined up to start in Arizona next week.

Activated ahead of start Martinez (ankle) was activated off the 10-day injured list as expected ahead of his scheduled start Friday against the Cubs.
Impact Martinez pitched through an ankle issue in his previous start against the Rockies back on May 8, allowing five runs in five innings. It was initially expected he wouldn't have to miss a turn in the rotation, but Martinez wound up missing just shy of two weeks. The righty owns a passable 4.35 ERA on the season, but his 12.6 percent strikeout rate gives him a very low fantasy ceiling.

Impact The 29-year-old landed on the shelf May 11 with a right ankle injury, but he'll rejoin the rotation Friday after a brief absence. Martinez has a 4.35 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB across 41.1 innings through seven starts in 2021.

Could return over weekend Martinez (ankle) could return from the injured list this weekend or early next week, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Martinez pitched through a twisted ankle during his early-May start against the Rockies. While he originally didn't expect to miss any starts, he's already missed one turn in the rotation and will probably miss one more before being activated.
